Question

Mrs Hernandez is taking her children and their friends to the movies. She will pay $10

Answer 1

The complete question is:

Mrs. Hernandez is taking her children and their friends to the movies. She will pay $10 for her adult ticket and $7 for each child ticket. Mrs. Hernandez does not want to spend more than $40. Which inequality can be used to find c, the number of child tickets Ms. Hernandez can purchase?

1. 7 + 10x > 40
2. 10x - 7 ≤ 40
3. 10 + 7x > 40
4. 10 + 7x ≤ 40

Step-by-step solution:

Let the number of children be x.

Then the total cost of x number of tickets, each costing $7 is $7x.

Here the ticket of Mrs. Hernandez costs $10

Thus the total cost of tickets is $(10 + 7x).

Given that she does not want to spend more than $40. This means that she is ready to spend $40 or less.

Then, 10 + 7x ≤ 40.

Answer: Option 4. 10 + 7x ≤ 40
