Question

The school cafeteria seats 250 students. 203 students are already seated. Write and sole an inequality that represents the additional number of students that can be seated

Answer 1

Answer:

An equation that represents the given situation is $203+x=250$ and the additional number of students that can be seated is 47

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students already seated in school cafeteria = 203

Let x be the additional number of students that can be seated

So, Total number of seats available in school cafeteria = 203+x

We are given that the school cafeteria seats 250 students

So, 203+x=250

$\Rightarrow x=250-203$

$\Rightarrow x=47$

Hence an equation that represents the given situation is $203+x=250$ and the additional number of students that can be seated is 47
