Question

Ms. Winter is organizing a march where people will walk in equal rows. She wants to have more than 611 people in the

march, and 39 more rows than people in each row.

If p represents the people in each row, which of the following represents this situation?

A. 39p2> 611
B. p +39p> 611
C. 39 +p<611
D.p2+39 <611

Answer 1

D. p2 + 27p > 770

Explanation:

Ms. Winter wants to have 27 more rows than people in each row.

The number of people in each row is represented by p.

The number of rows is represented by p + 27.

Ms. Winter wants to have more than 770 people in the march.

To find the total number of people in the march, find the product of the rows and the people in each row.

Set up an inequality to represent the situation.

p(p + 27) > 770

p2 + 27p > 770
