Question

Your family is going on vacation for two nights. You don't want to spend more than $135 on a hotel room for your vacation. Write an inequality to represent how much you can spend each night on your hotel room.

Answer 1

x ≤ 135/2

Explanation:

x is the cost per night. You have to pay for 2 nights, and you do not want to spend more than $135 total. Another way to say that, is you want to spend less than or equal to $135.

x = cost per night

2 = number of nights

2x = total cost

Total cost must be less than or equal to $135.

2x ≤ 135

Divide each side by 2.

x ≤ 135/2
