Question

Elena and Tomas rented a room in a restaurant for their wedding reception. They had to pay a rental rate of $160 plus $15 for the dinner of each guest who attended. They could not afford to pay more than $520 for the reception. Which inequality can be used to find how many guests (

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Let the number of guests be represented by x.

The information given can then be used to generate an inequality that goes thus:

160 + 15x ≤ 520

15x ≤ 520 - 160

15x ≤ 360

x ≤ 360/15

x ≤ 24

The number of guests should be at most 24
