100+15p

P

<25

Answer 1

100+15p < 25p

Explanation:

Note that

> means greater than

< means less than

≥ means greater than or equal to

≤ less than or equal to

total cost of travelling = cost to rent a bus + total cost of ticket for p persons

100 + 15p

they want to spend less than an average cost of 25 per p people

they want to spend less than 25p

since they dont want to spend less than 25p, < would be used

100+15p < 25p
