Question

A college is currently accepting students that are both in-state and out-of-state. They plan to accept three times as many in-state students as out-of-state, and they only have space to accept 100 out-of-state students. Let x = the number of out-of-state students and y = the number in-state students. Write the constraints to represent the incoming students at the college.
0 < x ≤ 100 and 0 < y ≤ 300
x > 0 and y > 0
0 < x ≤ 100 and y > 300
0 < x and y < 100

Answer 1

Answer:

$0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Maximum number of out-of-state students, $x=100$

Maximum number of in-state students, $y=3x$

Therefore, the range of out-of-state students can be anywhere between a number greater than 0 but less than or equal to 100 as this is maximum limit.

$0$

In order to get the interval for $y$, we multiply the above by 3 throughout.

$3\times 0< 3\times x\leq 3\times 100\\0 < 3x\leq 300$

But $3x = y$. Therefore,

$0< y\leq 300$

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 0 < x ≤ 100 and 0 < y ≤  400 or 300 no different
