Question

Annie is planning a business meeting for her company. her budget is 1,325 for renting the meeting room at the local hotel and providing lunch. she expects 26 people to attend the meeting the room cost $270 which inequality show how to find the amount × Annie can spend for lunch on each person

Answer 1

$1325 - $270 = $1055

Annie has $1055 to spend on 26 lunches.

Let the cost of a lunch be x.

26x < 1055

x < $40.58

Answer: x < $40.58

Answer 2

26x + 270 ≤ 1,325

Explanation:

Suppose x be the amount ( in dollars ) of lunch of each person,

So, the cost of lunch for 26 people = 26x,

Also, the cost of meeting room = $ 270,

Thus, the total cost = total cost of lunch + meeting room cost

= 26x + 270,

According to the question,

The budget of meeting is $ 1,325,

That is, the total cost can not exceed to $ 1325,

`\implies 26+270 \leq 1325`

Which is the required inequality that will used to find the cost of each lunch.
