The Jones family has saved a maximum of $750 for their family vacation to the beach. While planning the trip, they determine tha
t the hotel will average $125 a night and tickets for scuba diving are $75. The inequality can be used to determine the number of nights the Jones family could spend at the hotel 750 ≥ 75 + 125h What value of h does NOT make the inequality true?
The Jones family has saved a maximum of $750 for their family vacation to the beach. It means that whatever they would do during the vacation, they cannot spend more than $750.
The inequality can be used to determine the number of nights the Jones family could spend at the hotel is
750 ≥ 75 + 125h
This can also be written as
75 + 125h ≤ 750
We would solve the inequality for the value of h.
125h ≤ 750 - 75
125h ≤ 675
h ≤ 675/125
h ≤ 5.4
For any value of h greater than 5.4 hours, the inequality will not be true.
