Question

Priya has $30 to spend at the school festival. Admission is $4 and each ride ticket is $2. Which inequality represents the greatest number of ride tickets she can buy

2n+4<30
2n+3>30
2n+4≤30
2n+4≥30

Answer 1

4 + 2n ≤ 30

Explanation:

• Priya has $30 to spend at the school festival.
• Each ride ticket costs $2, and the admission is $4.
• So, the cost of n ride tickets would be 2n dollars.
• The total cost of the admission and ride tickets would be the sum of the admission and the cost of ride tickets: 4 + 2n.
• We want to find an inequality that ensures the total cost does not exceed $30.
• In other words, we want 4 + 2n to be less than or equal to 30.

Now, let's represent this in an inequality:

4 + 2n ≤ 30
