From Part 2 the inequality for staying within the budget is
10 + 3p ≤ 25.
Evaluate it for p = 5:
10 + 3(5) = 10 + 15 = 25.
Compare: 25 ≤ 25 is true.
Justification: Because the left side equals the budget (25), the inequality is satisfied. The group spent exactly $25, so they stayed within their budget (they did not exceed it).
