Question

Rajah wanted to go to the amusement park and needed to determine how much money he would need based on how many friends he brought.

Help Rajah create an equation to represent the least amount of money (M=Money) he would need if the tickets coast $12 per person, food is approximately $11per person and he would buy one large Kettle corn at $15.00 to share with everyone.



Let N = number of friends
M=Money

Select one:
a.12N + 11N + 15 > M
b.12N + 11N + 15 ≤ M
c.12N + 11N + 15≥ M
d.12N + 11N + 15 < M

Answer 1

B. 12N + 11N + 15 ≤ M

Explanation:

The equation that represents the least amount of money Rajah would need:

12N + 11N + 15 = M

This equation that represents the total cost of tickets and food for N friends plus the cost of one large Kettle corn to share with everyone.

The inequality that represents the minimum amount of money Rajah would need is:

12N + 11N + 15 ≤ M

This inequality ensures that Rajah has enough money to cover the cost of tickets, food, and Kettle corn for everyone.

Answer 2

b. 12N + 11N + 15 ≤ M

Explanation:

The price of tickets, food, and popcorn has to be less than or equal to the amount of money.

hope this helps !! <3
