Question 251587
The Birmingham Inn offers two plans for party packages. 
Under plan A, the inn charges $40 for each person in attendance.
A(x) = 40x 
---------------------- 
Under plan B, the inn charges $1200, plus $20 for each person in attendance.
B(x) = 1200 + 20x
--------------------------- 
a) Write an inequality showing Plan B less than Plan A for x people in attendance.
A(x)-B(x) > 0
40x - (1200+20x) > 0
40x - 20x - 1200 > 0
20x > 1200
x > 60 
---

b) How many people must be in attendance at the wedding reception in order for Plan B to be the cheaper plan?

If # of people is greater than 60 plan B costs less than plan A.
