Question

A hotel costs $100 per night plus a $35 hotel fee. If George has $500, what is the maximum number of nights he could stay

Answer 1

4 nights

Explanation:

use the equation

y = 100x + 35

substitute y for 500

500 = 100x + 35

solve for x

465 = 100x

x = 4.65

so based on the situation he could only stay 4 nights

Answer 2

The maximum number of nights he could stay is 4 nights
