The owner of a new restaurant is designing its floor plan. His goal is to have a seating capacity of at least 251 customers. The small tables can seat 3 customers, while the large tables can seat 9 customers.Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.x= the number of small tablesy= the number of large tablesChoices:(A) 3x+9y≤251(B) 3x + 9y > 251(C) 3x + 9y < 251(D) 3x+9y≥251
Q. The owner of a new restaurant is designing its floor plan. His goal is to have a seating capacity of at least 251 customers. The small tables can seat 3 customers, while the large tables can seat 9 customers.Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.x= the number of small tablesy= the number of large tablesChoices:(A) 3x+9y≤251(B) 3x+9y>251(C) 3x+9y<251(D) 3x+9y≥251
Calculate Small Tables Capacity: Small tables seat 3 customers each, so the total seating capacity from small tables is 3 times the number of small tables.Calculation: 3×x=3x
Calculate Large Tables Capacity: Large tables seat 9 customers each, so the total seating capacity from large tables is 9 times the number of large tables.Calculation: 9×y=9y
Calculate Total Seating Capacity: The total seating capacity is the sum of the seating capacity from small and large tables.Calculation: 3x+9y
Set Seating Capacity Goal: The goal is to have a seating capacity of at least 251 customers. The inequality that represents this situation is the total seating capacity must be greater than or equal to 251. Calculation: 3x+9y≥251
