Question

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $605 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $17.25, and tickets cost $37.25 per person, including tax. Which inequality can be used to determine
�
p, the maximum number of people who can go to the amusement park?

Answer 1

A shipping container will be used to transport several 90-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 23000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 13700 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Which inequality can be used to determine
�
c, the greatest number of 90-kilogram crates that can be loaded onto the shipping container?

Answer 2

Let p be the maximum number of people who can go to the amusement park.
The cost of parking is $17.25.
The cost of tickets per person is $37.25.
The total cost of parking and tickets for p people is 17.25 + 37.25p.
The group has no more than $605 to spend, so the inequality is:
17.25 + 37.25p ≤ 605.

Answer 3

Let c be the greatest number of 90-kilogram crates that can be loaded onto the shipping container.
The weight of each crate is 90 kilograms.
The total weight of the crates is 90c.
The weight of the other shipments is 13700 kilograms.
The maximum weight that can be loaded into the container is 23000 kilograms.
The inequality to determine c is:
90c + 13700 ≤ 23000.
