Question

Which situation is represented by the inequality?

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of guests needed to cover the cost of the permit.

Each guest pays $1.25, then x guests pay $1.25x.

200 students attend the picnic, each student attending the picnic pays $0.75, then 200 students pay $\ 0.75\cdot 200$

The total sum the students and the guest pay is

$\ 0.75\cdot 200+\ 1.25x$

A local high school needs to purchase a park permit for $250.00 for their upcoming senior class picnic, then

$\ 0.75\cdot 200+\ 1.25x\ge 250$

So, correct option is C:

A local high school needs to purchase a park permit for $250.00 for their upcoming senior class picnic. Each student attending the picnic pays $0.75. Each guest pays $1.25. Suppose 200 students attend the picnic. What is x, the number of guests needed to cover the cost of the permit?
