Question

A small auditorium can seat 320 people. Which inequality best represents the number of people,p, who could sit in the auditorium?A. P>319B. P<321C. P>320D. P<319

Answer 1

Option B is correct.

p < 321

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that the auditorium can sit 320 people.

This means the maximum number of people that the auditorium can sit is 320.

So, the number of people that the auditorium can sit, p, can be any number from 320 and below, in inequality terms, this would be any number less than 321. This can then be written as

p ≤ 320

Or more appropriately as

p < 321

Hope this Helps!!!
