Question

Tomas and Emilio have a budget of $200 to plan their party at a movie theater. The party room at the theater costs $45.99 to rent and includes a free cake. Movie tickets cost $12.50 each, and a small bag of popcorn costs $4.50. Emilio writes the inequality 17(f + 2) + 45.99 ≤ 200 to better represent the situation, using the variable f to represent the number of friends. Solve the inequality. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Then write the maximum number of friends that can attend the birthday party. Enter your answers in the boxes.

9 friends is the max that can come to the party.

Answer 2

9 friends

Emilio is right

Explanation:

the budget is $200 the party room is $45.99 and includes a free cake

Movie tickets cost $12.50 each

12.50*7=87.5

12.50*9=112.5

A small bag of popcorn cost $4.50 each

4.50*7=31.5

4.50*9=40.5

45.99+87.5+31.5=164.99

7 friends would equal 164.99.

45.99+112.5+40.5=198.99

9 friends would equal 198.99.

so 9 friends can go with them.
