Question

You and two friends are planning a vacation. You want to keep the cost below $120 per person. Write and solve an inequality that represents

the total cost of the vacation

Answer 1

Inequality is y < 360

Explanation:

Let y be the total cost of the vacation.

Now, since there are 3 persons in consideration and we want to keep the cost below $120 per person. Therefore, cost for each person is; y/3

Thus,representing this in inequality gives;

y/3 < 120

Multiplying both sides by 3 to get;

y < 360
