Question

A trampoline park charges $5.50 per hour for kids and a flat $3 admission for parents. Mrs. Bernard would like to take her son and spend no more than $20 at the trampoline park. How many hours will her son be able to jump?

A. 5.50x + 3 > 20

B. 3x + 5.50 < 20

C. 3x + 5.50 ≤ 20

D. 5.50x + 3 ≤ 20

Answer 1

Explanation:

It has to be option D by looking at the question.

It says, that it is $5.50 per hour for kids.

If x is the hours, then total cost spent just for the kid will be $5.50x

It also says there is a flat $3 admission. So just add that to the equation.

$5.50x + 3 ≤ 20.

20 ( given)
