Find how many people you can pay for by simulating the equations for a bus.
It will cost a total of will give you the total amount of full buses you can rent.
2700%3E=%28220%2B%288%2A40%29%29b
2700%3E=540b
b%3C=5
You can rent less than or equal to 5 buses to carry 200 people to a desination

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)
