Aschool allots ? 1500 to spend on a trip to the theatre. theatre tickets have a regular cost of ? 55 each and are on offer for 1 5 off. a train ticket for the day will cost ? 12 each. if 2 teachers and the maximum number of students attend, how much money will the school have left over?

a) Amount of pasta remaining ≤ p(12 - 8)

b) Amount of pasta remaining ≤ 4p

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of pasta in one container = p

Let y represent the amount of pasta that is left.

Since the students eat 8 containers worth of pasta out of 12 pasta containers

But we weren't told that the students did not eat out of the 4 remaining pasta containers

y ≤ p(12 - 8)

where y = p(12 - 8) if the students did not touch the remaining 4 containers.

b) Using the distributive property

p(12 - 8) = 12p - 8p

y ≤ 12p - 8p

y ≤ 4p
