Bens barbeque charges a setup fee to $52 for catering a barbeque party plus an additional $6.25 per person. Robert is planning to hire Ben's barbeque to cater a picnic. Robert has no more than $175 to spend on the picnic. What is the greatest number of people who can attend the picnic? (*WRITE AND SOLVE AN INEQUALITY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM*)

Respuesta :

The inequality would be 6.25x + 52 < or = 175. If you solved the inequality for x, the answer would be 19.68. This means that the answer would be, the greatest number of people who can attend the picnic is 19, because you can not have .68 of a person.
175-52=123
123/6.25=19.68
you can't have 19.68 people, so the max amount of people that could attend would be 18. Hope it helped:)
