Answer:

5 nights or less

Explanation:

You can do this by writing an inequality and solving it.

Let n = number of nights.

1 hotel night costs $60. n number of hotel nights cost 60n.

The flight costs $150.

The total cost is the price of the hotel plus the price of the flight.

60n + 150

The total price must be less than or equal to $500.


60n + 150 \le 500

Now we solve the inequality.

Subtract 150 from both sides.


60n \le 350

Divide both sides by 60.


n \le (350)/(60)

350 divided by 60 is 5.8333...


n \le 5.8

The number of night is less than or equal to 5.8, and it must be a whole number, so the most number of nights she can afford is 5.
