The aNSWER IS 41..AM I RIGHT?
Answer:
A. 3x+50 ≤ 100; 16 people
Step-by-step explanation:
If x represents the number of people at Berta's party, then the cost of food is 3x. Added to the $50 cost of room rental, the total charge Berta must pay will be ...
3x +50
She wants this to be at most $100, so her inequality is ...
3x +50 ≤ 100
Berta can solve this by subtracting 50, then dividing by 3.
3x ≤ 50
x ≤ 16 2/3
Since x represents a number of <em>people</em>, and it is not possible (or desirable) to have 2/3 of a person show up, the maximum number of people that can attend Berta's party is 16.
Divide both sides by 2
2t/2 = 10/2
t=5
