Question 1: a. Write an inequality to represent this situation.

Let xx be the cost of one uniform. The inequality is 15x+300≤75015x + 300 \leq 750.


Question 2: b. Solve the inequality and describe what it means in the situation.

Solving the inequality:

15x+300≤75015x + 300 \leq 750 15x≤45015x \leq 450 x≤30x \leq 30

This means the band can spend up to $30 on each uniform to stay within their budget.
