A graph between number of guests and prices. The x-axis represents guests and ranges from 0 to 50 in increments of 10. The y-axis represents price and ranges from 0 to 300 in increments of 25.

Rafael is trying to book a graduation party. The party pavilion charges $100 for the first 10 people, $150 for more than 10 and up to 20 people, $200 for more than 20 and up to 30 people, $250 for more than 30 and up to 40 people, and $275 for more than 40 and up to 50 people. If Rafael wants to spend $250 for this party, how many people can he invite?

To find out how many guests Rafael can invite if he wants to spend $250, we can analyze the pricing structure:

  • 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, he can invite between 31 and 40 guests.

Thus, the correct range is:

30 < x ≤ 40 (30 less than x less-than-or-equal-to 40)
