Question

PLZ answer quick i will give brainliest if right no explanation needed Joe is responsible for reserving hotel rooms for a company trip. His company changes plans and increases how many people are going on the trip, so they need at least 50 total rooms. Joe had already reserved and paid for 161616 rooms, so he needs to reserve additional rooms. He can only reserve rooms in blocks, and each block contains 8 rooms and costs $900. Let B represent the number of additional blocks that Joe reserves. 1) Which inequality describes this scenario? Choose 1 answer: a: 16+8B≤50 b: 16+8B≥50 c: 16+B≤50 d: 16+B≥50 2) What is the least amount of additional money Joe can spend to get the rooms they need?

Answer 1

Answer:

16 + 8b ≥ 50

4500

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs at least 50 rooms and has already reserved 16

They are in groups of 8

16 + 8b ≥ 50

Subtract 16 from each side

16+8b-16 ≥ 50 -16

8b≥ 34

Divide by 6

8b/8 ≥ 34/8

b≥ 4.25

We need to round up since we need at least 50

b = 5 since we want the least amount of rooms

Each block is 900

5*900 = 4500 more that he will have to spend

Answer 2

Answer:

16 + 8b ≥ 50

4500
