Answer 1

Given:

Cost of four lines = $125

Cost of each additional line = $15

Jason wants to spend at most $200 per month on cell phone expenses.

To find:

The inequality for the given situation.

Solution:

Let $x$ be the number of additional line.

Cost of one additional line = $15

Cost of $x$ additional line = $\ 15x$

Total cost = Fixed cost + Addition cost

                = $125+15x$

It is given that Jason wants to spend at most $200 per month on cell phone expenses. It means the total cost must be less than or equal to 200.

$125+15x\leq 200$

Therefore, the correct option is C.
