Ben wants to have his birthday at the bowling alley with a few of his friends, but he can spend no more than $80. The bowling alley charges a flat fee of $45 for a private party and $5.50 per person for shoe rentals and unlimited bowling. Write an inequality that represents the total cost of Ben's birthday for p people given his budget. Use your inequality to solve for how many people Ben can pay for (including himself) while staying within the limitations of his budget? *

Respuesta :

Answer:

He can pay for 5 friends plus himself while staying within the budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

No parents are allowed in.

45 + 5.5p = 80    80-45=35   5.5p = 35   35/5.5 = 6.4

So he can pay for himself plus 5 people, and probably a drink.

Hope this helps!
