The cost of renting the meeting room is $270. Which inequality shows how to find the amount, x, Annie can spend lunch for each person? A. 26x + 270 ≥ 1,325 B. 26x + 270 ≤ 1,325 C. 270x + 26 ≥ 1,325 D.270x + 26 ≤ 1,325

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. 26x + 270 ≤ 1,325

Answer 2

Answer: B.
`26x+270\leq1,325`

Explanation:

Let 'x' denote the amount of money Annie can spend lunch for each person.

Given: The cost of renting the meeting room = $270

The number of people attend the meeting = 26

Then, the expression for total amount spent on lunch will be :-

`\text{Total amount on lunch}=26x`

The expression for total spent by Annie will be:-

`26x+270`

Since, the budget for renting a meeting room at a local hotel and providing lunch= $1325

Thus, the inequality shows how to find the amount, x, Annie can spend lunch for each person will be :-

`26x+270\leq1,325`
