Question

HURRY BRAINLIEST AND 40 POINTS!!!
A class has $90 to spend on a field trip. The field trip costs $2.50 per person and there will be 5 chaperones on the trip. One student used the inequality 90 > 2.50(x + 5) to find x, the number of students that the field trip budget could accommodate. Which best describes the error in the student’s inequality? Options are below.

Answer 1

ANSWER:
Instead of greater than, the inequity symbol should be greater than or or equal to.

Step-by-step explanation:
We know the variable x represents the number of students. We also know there are 5 chaperones attending; this makes x+5 , by 2.50
It costs $2.50 per person; this means we multiply the number of people, x+5, by 2.50:

2.50(x+5)

The class has $90 to spend; this means they can spend up to and including $90. This gives us
90>2.50(x+5)
_
