Question

Ramon only has $35.42 (at max) for visiting a funhouse. The haunted house has an entrance fee of $1.77 with a $0.62 charge for every time he goes through. Which inequality could determine the number of times Ramon can go through the haunted house? (use t for every time he goes through)

O 35.42 ≤ 1.77t + 0.62
O 1.77 = 35.42 + 0.62t
O 35.42 ≥ 1.77 + 0.62t
O 0.62t = 35.42 + 1.77

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

He can only spend 35.42 dollars at the most, which means that the entrance fee and the charge made for every time he goes through has to be less than or equal to $35.42

Answer 2

35.42 ≥ 1.77 + 0.62t

Explanation:

Since he can use at most $35.42, that means that how much money he uses must be less than or equal to $35.42, or ≤35.42. The amount of money he uses can be represented by the one time entrance fee plus the fee every time he goes through multiplied by how many times he goes through, or 1.77+0.62t. Combining all of this together we get 1.77+0.62t≤ 35.42, or

35.42 ≥ 1.77 + 0.62t
