Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Arnob, Bella, Colin, Dante, and Erin are going to a baseball game.

They have a total budget of $100.00 to spend.

Each game ticket costs $17.50 and each drink costs $2.00

To Find: the number of drinks the 5 friends could buy in all, with their ticket costs and budget.

Solution :

Cost of each ticket is $17.50

cost of 5 tickets = $17.50*5 = $87.50

Let they buy x drinks .

Cost of each drink is $2

so, cost of x drinks = $2x

Total money they spent =  $87.50+$2x

Since they can spend only $100

⇒100=87.50+2x

Thus the inequality is 100=87.50+2x

Now, 100=87.50+2x

100-87.50=2x

12.5=2x

x= 6.25

Thus the number of bottles friends could buy to maintain the budget is 6
