Sagot :

Answer:

7 persons

Explanation:

The cost to rent a limousine is a flat rate of $125 plus $10 per person.

If the number of persons that attends = x

Then:

[tex]\text{Cost}=125+10x[/tex]

Since they have $200 to spend, it means they can:

• Spend less than $200

,

• Spend exactly $200

The inequality for the problem is thus:

[tex]125+10x\le200[/tex]

We solve the inequality for x.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 10x\le200-125 \\ 10x\le75 \\ x\le7.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the number of people they can afford to use the limousine will be 7.
