Question

A group of 20 adults and x students will visit the Museum of Science and History. Tickets for adults cost \$14 each , and tickets for students cost $12 each. Which inequality can be used to determme any number of student tickets that can be purchased with a maximum $300 when 20 tickets for adults are purchased ?

Answer 1

280 + 12x ≤ 300

Explanation:

A group of 20 adults and x students will visit the Museum of Science and History.

Each adult ticket costs $14 and each student ticket costs $12.

If there are maximum $300 to spend on ticket purchasing, then the inequality that gives the number of student tickets can be purchased will be

`14 * 20 + 12 * x \leq 300`

⇒ 280 + 12x ≤ 300 (Answer)
