Question

Maya is taking her friends to a concert. Each ticket costs

$25, and souvenir T-shirts are $12 each. There is a $4
service fee for the entire purchase. She has $130. If she
buys 3 tickets, what is the maximum number of T-shirts
she can buy?
If x = number of tickets and y= number of T-shirts, which of the following
inequalities could you use to answer the problem?

Answer 1

C. 25x+12y+4≤ 130

Explanation:

Each ticket cost $25, so x would be the number of tickets she has to buy.

25x

Each T-shirt cost $12, so y would be the number of T-shirts she can buy.

12y

And since there is an service fee for the entree purchase, that's another $4.

+4

The cost of everything has to be less than $130, so the equation would be:

25x+12y+4≤ 130
