Algebra practice question
A cinema hall seats at most 200 people, and 140 tickets have already been sold. Which inequality describes the number t of additional tickets that can be sold?
- A. 140 + t ≤ 200Correct
- B. 140 + t ≥ 200
- C. t ≤ 140
- D. 140t ≤ 200
Answer: A. 140 + t ≤ 200
Tickets sold so far plus more must not exceed 200.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 140 + t ≥ 200
- This would require selling at least 60 more.
- C. t ≤ 140
- 140 is what has been sold, not a cap on more.
- D. 140t ≤ 200
- Tickets are added, not multiplied.
