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.
