To determine how many guests Rafael can invite while spending $250, we will look at the price chart according to the number of guests:
- For 0 to 10 guests: $100
- For 11 to 20 guests: $150
- For 21 to 30 guests: $200
- For 31 to 40 guests: $250
- For 41 to 50 guests: $275
Since Rafael wants to spend $250, we see that this price corresponds to inviting between 31 and 40 guests (since $250 is the price for more than 30 and up to 40 guests).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
30 < x ≤ 40 (30 less than x less-than-or-equal to 40)
