What to find?
The inequality shows how to find the amount, x, Annie can spend on lunch for each person.
Given:
Budget = $1325
Number of people attending the meeting = 26
The cost of renting the meeting room = $270
Let x b the amount Annie can spend on lunch for each person.
Step 1
Find the cost of 26 people if x is the cost of 1 person.
Total amount of money she can spend on the 26 people = number of people multiply my the cost for each person.
Step 2
Determine the total cost of the meeting.
Total cost of the meeting = Total money spent on 26 people + cost of meeting room.
Step 3
Form the inequality.
Recall that her budget is $1, 325. This implies that the total cost must not exceed her budget but it can be less than that. Hence, we use "≤" to equate the total cost of the meeting and her budget.
Therefore, the inequality is;
ANSWER
26x + 270 ≤ 1325
