Tomas and Emilio are twins. They want to invite their friends to celebrate their shared birthday at the movie theater. They have a budget of $200 to plan their party.
The party room at the theater costs $45.99 to rent and includes a free cake. Movie tickets cost $12.50 each, and a small bag of popcorn costs $4.50.
Tomas writes an equation to represent the cost of their party. Emilio writes an inequality. Both use p to represent the number of people who can attend.
Part A
Write Tomas’s possible equation and Emilio’s possible inequality.
Tomas's possible equation:
45.99 + 12.50p + 4.50p = 200
Emilio's possible inequality:
45.99 + 12.50p + 4.50p <= 200
