Tickets to the zoo cost $12 for adults and $8 for children. The school has a budget of $240 for the field trip. An equation representing the budget for the trip is
240=12x+8y.
Select all the true statements.
If no adult chaperones were needed, 30 students could go to the zoo.
If ten students go to the zoo, then 15 adults can go.
If 10 adults go and 14 students go, there will be money left over.
8 adults and 18 students is a constraint for this situation.
If 16 adults go to the zoo, then 6 students can go.
If no adult chaperones were needed, 30 students could go to the zoo. (False, since in this case, the equation would be 240 = 8y, which does not hold true)
If ten students go to the zoo, then 15 adults can go. (False, since the equation 240 = 12x + 8y does not hold true for x = 15 and y = 10)
If 10 adults go and 14 students go, there will be money left over. (False, since the equation 240 = 12x + 8y does not hold true for x = 10 and y = 14)
8 adults and 18 students is a constraint for this situation. (True, since the equation 240 = 12x + 8y holds true for x = 8 and y = 18)
If 16 adults go to the zoo, then 6 students can go. (True, since the equation 240 = 12x + 8y holds true for x = 16 and y = 6)
