Question

Morgan is arranging a bowling party for his friends. The party room at the bowling alley is $35. The bowling alley offers a party package that includes unlimited games and shoe rental for $10 per person. Morgan thinks it will cost an additional $3 per person for snacks. What is the maximum number of people that Morgan can invite to stay under his budget of $175?

Answer 1

Your inequality is (x being number of people):
175≥35+10x+3x

First, combine like terms so your new inequality is:
175≥35+13x
Then subtract 35 from both sides which makes it:
140≥13x
then divide 140 by 13 making it:
10.769≥x
But because you can't have .769 of a person the actual answer is 10
then you have to subtract 1 because he isn't including himself and there is the answer!:
9≥x

Answer 2
