Question

Janelle would like to give a party bag to every person who is coming to her party. The cost of the party bag is $7 per person. Write an inequality that describes the number of people P that she can invite if Janelle has No more than $95 dollars to spend on the party bags.

Answer 1

Answer: Inequality that describes the number of people P that she can invite if Janelle has No more than $95 dollars to spend on the party bags: 7P ≤ 95

Explanation:

Given: The cost of the party bag is $7 per person.

P represents the number of people that she can invite.

Total cost for P people = ( cost per person) x (P)

=$ 7P (i)

If Janelle has No more than $95 dollars to spend on the party bags.

That means , Total cost ≤ $ 95

From (i)

7P ≤ 95 , which is the required inequality.
