Question

The Rao family won a raffle of $1,000 to spend at Dixie Amusement Park. They want to use it for a group tour and for meals. A tour can have at most 8 people in the group, and if there are children on the tour there must be at least one adult. The tour cost $250 plus $100 for each adult and $50 for each child. The meal plan for the park is $15 per person.
A) Write a system of inequalities to model this scenario, and graph the system.
B) What is the maximum number of people who could be in the group, and how much would it cost? Justify your answer
C) Suppose that only adults are going to go on the tour. How many can there be? Explain your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Well, 1000>(15x+t)+(50x+100t) if there are children aboard.

B. The maximum amount is 19 if one adult is going with 18 children (not including the meal plan). And the total would be $1000

C. If only adults are going then a total of 8 adults can go if they are planning to use the raffle ticket for the meal plan too. If not then the total is 10.

I hope this is right.
