Ms. Moyseenko is having a graduation party for her niece. It cost $40 for a bounce house and $8 per person
for food. She only has $264. What is the maximum
number of people she can have?

452,489 to the nearest thousand is 452,000

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

2x^2+5x+17

your welcome. : )
