Question

Arnob, Bella, Colin, Dante, and Erin are going to a baseball game. They have a total budget of $100.00 to spend. Each game ticket costs $17.50 and each drink costs $2.00. The inequality below relates x, the number of drinks the 5 friends could buy in all, with their ticket costs and budget.

5[17.5]+2_< 100
Which best describes the restrictions on the number of drinks they can buy? They can buy only from 0 to 3 drinks, but no more. They can buy only from 0 to 6 drinks, but no more. They can buy only from 0 to 7 drinks, but no more. They can buy only from 0 to 12 drinks, but no more.

Answer 1

Answer: They can buy only from 0 to 6 drinks, but no more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

They can buy only from 0 to 6 drinks, but no more.

Explanation:

No. of friends = 5

Cost of 1 game ticket = $17.50

Cost of 5 game ticket =
`17.50 * 5=87.5`

Let x be the number of drinks

Cost of 1 drink = $2

So, cost of x drinks = 2x

So, total cost =
`87.5+2x`

Since we are given that they have a total budget of $100.00 to spend.

So, they can spend 100 or less than 100.

So, equation becomes :
`87.5+2x\leq 100`

`2x\leq 100-87.5`

`2x\leq 12.5`

`x\leq (12.5)/(2)`

`x\leq 6.25`

So, no. of drinks can be less than or equal to 6

So,They can buy only from 0 to 6 drinks, but no more.
