Answer:
10 persons
Explanation:
Step one:
given data
We are told that they have a total of $275
also, they want to spend $5 on packing space
and a ticket cost $27 per person.
Step two:
let the number of persons be x
and let the total amount to be spent be y
hence the inequality is
y≤ 5+ 27x
now for y= $275, let us find x
Substitute into the inequality we have
275≤5+27x
275-5≤27x
270≤27x
Divide both sides by 27
x ≤ 270/27
x ≤ 10
Hence the number of persons should not be more than 10
