If she buys 3 tickets, how many T-shirts can she buy? If x = number of tickets and y = number of T-shirts, which of the following inequalities could you use to answer the problem?

a. 25x+12y 130
b. 25x+12y+4 130
c. 25x+12y+4 130
d. x+y < 130

Answer 1

25x+12y+4<=130

this is the correct answer btw <= means < with the line under it

Explanation:

Answer 2

`25x+12y+4 \leq 130`

Explanation:

Here, x represents the number of tickets and y represents the number of T-shirts.

As per the statement:

Each ticket costs $25, and souvenir T-shirts are $12 each

⇒Total cost of ticket = 25x and Total cost for T-shirt = 12y

It is also given that there is a $4 service fee for the entire purchase.

`25x+12y+4`

Since, she has $130

⇒
`25x+12y+4 \leq 130`

Therefore, an inequality could you use to answer the problem is,
`25x+12y+4 \leq 130`
