of $200 to plan their party. The party room at the bowling alley costs $55.99 to rent and includes a free birthday cake. The bowling alley charges each person $5.50 to bowl and pair of bowling shoes. Amir writes an equation that represents the cost of their birthday party, Edward writes an inequality. Both use p to represent the number of people that can attend. A. Write an equation Amir used and an inequality Edward used to represent the cost of their birthday party. Each brother believes that their statement best represents the situation. Amir thinks that his equation is the best representation for the situation. Edward argues that his inequality is the best representation for the situation. B.

Answer:

A.

Amir's equation : 5.50 p + 55.99 =200

Edward's equation : 5.50 p+ 55.99 ≤ 200

B. Amir's equation presents the situation best because it gives the cost of the part as per the budget. Edward's equation gives room for lesser amounts to be used in case p< 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

The budget is $200

The party room charges $55.99

The charge per person is $5.50

Letting p =number of people that can attend the party, then

A.

Equation for cost that Amir use is;

$5.50*p + $55.99 = $200

5.50 p + 55.99 =200

5.50 p = 200-55.99

5.50 p =144.01

p= 144.01/5.50 = 26 -------Amir's equation will also give the number of people that can attend the party with the budget of $200

For Edward's case

$5.50 p +$55.99 ≤ $200

5.50 p+ 55.99 ≤ 200

5.50 p ≤ 200-55.99

5.50 p ≤ 144.01

p ≤ 144.01/5.50

p ≤ 26

Edward's inequality suggests that for the budget of $200 , 26 or less people can attend the party.

B. Amir's equation presents the situation best because it gives the cost of the part as per the budget. Edward's equation gives room for lesser amounts to be used in case p< 26.

Ray wants to buy an item worth $500. Which option is the most cost-effective?
LuckyWell [14K]

Ray wants to buy an item worth 500$ in the most cost-effective way. Let's study each of the 3 cases and see with option is the best.

In the first option, he'll buy the item at list price with a coupon for $10 off. So he'll buy it at 500-10 =$490.

In the second option, he'll buy a membership for $35 and then get the item at a 15% discount. With a 15% discount, the price of the item will be 500 - (500*0.15) = 500 - 75 = $425. And with the membership price, he'll pay a total of 425 + 35 = $460.

The third option is to buy the item online at a 10% discount and pay $4 for the shipping. At 10% discount, the price of the item will be 500 - (500*0.1) = 500 - 50 = $450. And with cost of the shipping, he'll pay a total of 450+4 = $454.


So if he chooses the first option, he'll pay $490. With the second, he'll pay $460. And finally with the third, he'll pay $454.

So the third option is the most cost-effective, buying the item at $454.

Hope this helps! :)
