Question

There is space for 120 students to go on a field trip.Currently, 74 students have signed up. Write and solve aninequality to find how many more students can sign up forthe field trip.

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \text{Answer} \\ \text{x + 74 }\leq\text{ 120} \end{gathered}$

Explanation:

The total number of space to be fill up by the students = 120

This implies that the bus can only take 120 students and nothing more

Let the number of students that are yet to sign up be x

Since, 74 students had already signed up

Therefore, the additional number of students that will sign up should be less than or equal to 120

Mathematically,

$x\text{ + 74 }\leq\text{ 120}$
