Answer:

The correct option is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Adult tickets (x) cost $20, and student tickets (y) cost $15

Since the total amount available to spend for the group is $500, the sum of the amount for adult tickets and the amount for student tickets they can buy would not exceed $500 (It can be below however)

Amount for adult tickets = 20x

Amount for students tickets = 15y

We now have the inequality:


20x+15y\le500
