Question

A children’s birthday party at and indoor play center cost 50$ yo rent the space and $6.25 per child. Gona wants to spend no more than $100 on her son’s fourth birthday party. Write an inequality for the number of children who can attend the birthday party, and solve the inequality

Answer 1

Fix cost = $50
Per child = $6.25
Budget = $100

Let x be the number of children

50 + 6.25x ≤ 100
6.25x ≤ 100 - 50
6.25x ≤ 50
x ≤ 50 ÷ 6.25
x ≤ 8

She can invite at most 8 children to the party.
