Question

The budget for a school dance is $390.00. Decorations and refreshments cost $150.00. The band charges a fee of $100.00 plus an additional $35.00 per hours. What is the maximum number of hours the school can have the band play at the dance?

Answer 1

The maximum number of hours the school can have the band play at the dance is 4.

Explanation:

150 + 100 + 35x ≤ 390

250 + 35x ≤ 390

subtract 250 from both sides

35x ≤ 140

divide by 35 on both sides

x ≤ 4
