Question

Tanvi is booking a band and a DJ for a dance, and wants to keep the cost of the entertainment under $590. A band can play for part of the time at an hourly rate of $120, and a DJ can play for the remaining time at an hourly rate of $84.

Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.

x = the number of hours the band will play
y = the number of hours the DJ will play

Answer 1

590 ≥ 120x + 84y

Explanation:

590 is the coefficient that is what it will be less than or equal to. Since Tanvi wants it to be less than 590. 120 and 84 will be multiplied by the variable. So its going to be different depending on how many hours they need to payed.

I hope this helped. :)
