Question

Arnob, Bella, Colin, Dante, and Erin are going to a baseball game. They have a total budget of $100.00 to spend. Each game ticket costs $17.50 and each drink costs $2.00. The inequality below relates x, the number of drinks the 5 friends could buy in all, with their ticket costs and budget.

5 (17.5) + 2 x less-than-or-equal-to 100

Which best describes the restrictions on the number of drinks they can buy?
They can buy only from 0 to 3 drinks, but no more.
They can buy only from 0 to 6 drinks, but no more.
They can buy only from 0 to 7 drinks, but no more.
They can buy only from 0 to 12 drinks, but no more.

Answer 1

They can buy only from 0 to 6 drinks, but no more.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of friends = 5

Cost of 1 game ticket = $17.50

Cost of 5 game ticket =

Let x be the number of drinks

Cost of 1 drink = $2

So, cost of x drinks = 2x

So, total cost =

Since we are given that they have a total budget of $100.00 to spend.

So, they can spend 100 or less than 100.

So, equation becomes :

So, no. of drinks can be less than or equal to 6

So,They can buy only from 0 to 6 drinks, but no more.
