Question

The Jones family has saved a maximum of $750 for their family vacation to the beach.  While planning the trip, they determine that the hotel will average $125 a night and tickets for scuba diving are $75.  The inequality can be used to determine the number of nights the Jones family could spend at the hotel
750≥75 + 125h
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Value of h greater than 5.4 will make inequality false.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

The Jones family has saved a maximum of $750 for their family vacation to the beach. While planning the trip, they determine that the hotel will average $125 a night and tickets for scuba diving are $75. The inequality can be used to determine the number of nights the Jones family could spend at the hotel 750 ≥ 75 + 125h. What value of h does NOT make the inequality true?

From the given question,

Per night expense (expected) = $125

If Jones family stays in the hotel for 'h' days then total expenditure on stay = $125h

Charges for scuba diving = $75

Total charges for stay and scuba diving = $(125h + 75)

Since Jones family has saved $750 for the vacation trip so inequality representing the expenses will be,

125h + 75 ≤ 750

125h ≤ 675

h ≤ $\frac{675}{125}$

h ≤ 5.4

That means number of days for stay should be less than equal to 5.4

and any value of h greater than 5.4 will make the inequality false.
