Question

Which inequality can be used to determme any number of student tickets that can be purchased with a maximum $300 when 20 tickets for adults are purchased ?

Answer 1

Answer:

280 + 12x ≤ 300

Step-by-step explanation:

A group of 20 adults and x students will visit the Museum of Science and History.

Each adult ticket costs $14 and each student ticket costs $12.

If there are maximum $300 to spend on ticket purchasing, then the inequality that gives the number of student tickets can be purchased will be

$14 \times 20 + 12 \times x \leq 300$

⇒ 280 + 12x ≤ 300 (Answer)
