Samantha has $300 for guitar lessons to learn her favorite song mr. jones charges $800 per lesson and requires three lessons to teach samantha and the song. mr police charges $62 per lesson and and will require four lessons to teach samantha the song. use integers to represent which teacher
each charges. which is better deal for samantha

Mr.Jones charges $800 per lesson and requires 3 lessons

That means mr Jones will charge Samantha 800x3 = $2400 in total.

Mr. Police charges $62 per lesson and requires 4 lessons,

62x4 = $248 in total.

Since mr. Police charges less than mr.Jones, it would be a better deal for Samantha.

IN CASE YOU WROTE THE QUESTION WRONG AND MR JONES CHARGES $80 PER LESSON

In that case it would be 80x3 = $240 in total

mr jones would charge less now and it would be better deal for Samantha.

third choice down

step-by-step explanation:

the first inequality is based on the number of adults and campers, and the second inequality is based on the cost of feeding both the adult and the camper.

we know that there is room for 525 people max.   it's ok to have less than 525, but it's not ok to have more than 525, so the inequality is less than or equal to.   the number combination of adults (x) and campers (y) cannot exceed this 525 max.   therefore:

x + y ≤ 525

now we talk about cost.   it costs $9 to feed one adult, so depending upon the number of adults you have (x) depends upon how much it will cost to feed that number of adults.   same with the campers, who cost $5 to feed.   the adults can be represented by 9x and the campers can be represented by 5y.   since the budget cannot exceed 1,200, the second inequality is:

9x + 5y ≤ 1200
