Question

Help please

Sammy is planning a trip to Nashville. He knows the hotel costs $125 per night and the round trip flight is $159. He has a budget of $900 to spend on his trip. Which of the following inequalities represents his budget to determine how many nights he can stay in Nashville?

125n + 159 ≥ 900
125n + 159 ≤ 900
159n + 125 ≤ 900
159n + 125 ≥ 900

Answer 1

$900 is the cap, the greatest amount Sam can spend. That immediately rules out the 1st and the 3rd choices. Does that help? How much does the hotel cost per night, and which letter represents the # of nights?

Answer 2

The answer would be 125n + 159 is less than or equal to 900

In short, the second option is correct. Hope this helps!
