A.
$20x < $170
B.
$20x + $30 < $170
C.
$20x < $200
D.
$20x - $30 < $200

Answer 1

Option B: $20x + $30 < $170 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given that:

Service fee of Tina's business = $30

Per day charges = $20

Number of days = x

Customer's budget = less than $170

According to given statement;

20x + 30 < 170

Hence,

Option B: $20x + $30 < $170 is the correct answer.
