Question

Can anyone please help me with this

problem?
Mr. Killian is buying tickets for a school field trip. He buys 80 student tickets, and 15 adult tickets. The cost of a ticket for a student is $8 less than the cost of an adult ticket. He pays an additional charge of $14.75 in taxes and fees. If Mr. Killian wants to spend less than $405, which inequality can Mr. Killian use to determine the price he can spend on an adult ticket, x?
Answer Choices
a.) 95x-8+14.75<405
b.) 95(x-8)+14.75>405
c.)15x+80(x-8)+14.75<405
d.)2(x-8)+80x+14.75>405

Answer 1

correct answer is C!!!

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

s+8 =a

15a+80s+14.75<405

We can use deductive reasoning skills to see that D is the answer because we know the sign has to be < so that marks out the other two answers and then A doesn't work because it subtracts it from the total, and that's not what we want
