Answer:

the number of game tickets that could be bought

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of drinks. Since each drink costs $2.50, therefore the total cost for drinks = 2.5x.

Each game ticket cost $17. Let y represent the number of tickets bought, therefore the total cost for tickets = 17y.

Given that the total budget = $100, hence:

total cost for drinks +  total cost for tickets ≤ 100

17y + 2.50x ≤ 100    (1)

Given the equation:

5(17) + 2.50x ≤ 100   (2)

comparing equation 1 and 2, we get that y = 5. Hence 5 represents the number of tickets bought
