Question

Which inequality represents the situation?

Group of answer choices

325+20m≥500

325m+20≥500

325+20m≤500

325m+20≤500

Answer 1

To represent the situation where Anna Maria does not want to spend more than $500, we need to consider her expenses.

She plans to spend $325 on travel and camping, and she budgets $20 for each meal. If we let \( m \) represent the number of meals, her total spending can be modeled as:

\[ 325 + 20m \]

Since she doesn't want to spend more than $500, we set up the inequality:

\[ 325 + 20m \leq 500 \]

Thus, the correct inequality is:

325 + 20m ≤ 500
