Jennifer is planning a holiday. The hotel costs $60 per night and her flights cost $150. She has a budget of £500 for hotel and flights. Up to how many nights can she afford in the hotel?

Respuesta :

she can afford up to five nights
60x+150 is < or = 500

Answer:

5 nights

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nights.  She can spend up to and including 500; this gives us the inequality

60x+150 ≤ 500

Subtract 150 from each side:

60x+150-150 ≤ 500-150

60x ≤ 350

Divide both sides by 60:

60x/60 ≤ 350/60

x ≤ 5.83

Since she cannot stay just a portion of a night, she can stay up to 5 nights.
