To pay for the permit, there is a fee of $.75 for each sophomore and $1.25 for each guest who is not a sophomore. Two hundred sophomores plan to attend. Write and solve an inequality to find how many guests must attend for the sophomores to pay for the permit. Answer by checkley77(12569) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 200*.75+1.25x>250
150+1.25x>250
1.25x>250-150
1.25x>100
x>100/1.25
x>80 minimum number of non sophomores are required to raise the $250 fee.
Proof:
200*.75+1.25*80>250
150+100=250
250=250
