The cost of renting the meeting room is $270. Which inequality shows how to find the amount, x, Annie can spend lunch for each person? A. 26x + 270 ≥ 1,325 B. 26x + 270 ≤ 1,325 C. 270x + 26 ≥ 1,325 D.270x + 26 ≤ 1,325

Answer 1

B. 26x+270 < or = to 1325

Answer 2

Answer: A. 26 x + 270 ≥ 1,325

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x represents the cost of lunch per person,

Thus, the cost of the lunch of 26 persons = 26 × x = 26 x

Also, the cost of renting the meeting room = $ 270

⇒ Total expenses = 270 + 26 x

According to the question,

Given budget = $ 1325

Therefore, the expenses can not be exceed to $1325

That is,  270 + 26 x ≥ 1325

Which is the required inequality.

⇒ Option A is correct.
