The cost of renting a bus is $220 plus $8 per person. Each bus has 40 seats. Write an inequality that represents the number of buses you can rent if you have $2700.
----------------
Cost = 220 + 8x dollars
-----
C(40) = 220+8*40 = 220 = 320 = 540 dollars
---
# of busses <= 2700/540 = 5
---------------------------------
Inequality::
# of busses = 2700/(220+8x)
