Answer 1

For Question 1, we need to set up an inequality that reflects David's spending limit of $700. The total cost includes an initial fee of $500 plus $50 for each additional session (denoted as \( s \)). So the expression for the total cost is:

\[ 500 + 50s \]

Since David does not want to spend more than $700, we set up the inequality:

\[ 500 + 50s \leq 700 \]

Thus, the correct response for Question 1 is:

**50s + 500 ≤ 700**

For Question 2, to find out how many additional sessions David can schedule, we solve the inequality:

\[ 500 + 50s \leq 700 \]

Subtract 500 from both sides:

\[ 50s \leq 200 \]

Now, divide each side by 50:

\[ s \leq 4 \]

This means David can schedule a maximum of **4 additional sessions**.
