If she buys 3 tickets, how many T-shirts can she buy? If x = number of tickets and y = number of T-shirts, which of the following inequalities could you use to answer the problem?
a. 25x+12y 130
b. 25x+12y+4 130
c. 25x+12y+4 130
d. x+y < 130

Answer 1

Answer:

$25x+12y+4 \leq 130$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of tickets and y represents the number of T-shirts.

As per the statement:

Each ticket costs $25,  and souvenir T-shirts are $12 each

⇒Total cost of ticket = 25x and Total cost for T-shirt = 12y

It is also given that there is a $4 service fee for the entire purchase.

$25x+12y+4$

Since, she has $130

⇒$25x+12y+4 \leq 130$

Therefore, an inequality could you use to answer the problem is, $25x+12y+4 \leq 130$
