A summer camp cookout is planned for the campers and their families. There is room for 525 people. Each adult costs $9, and each camper costs $5. There is a maximum budget of $1,200. Write the system of inequalities to represent this real-world scenario, where x is the number of adults and y is the number of campers.

x + y ≤ 525

5x + 9y ≤ 1,200

x + y ≤ 1,200

5x + 9y ≤ 525

x + y ≤ 525

9x + 5y ≤ 1,200

x + y ≤ 1,200

9x + 5y ≤ 525

    Let:

    x = numbers of adults

    y = numbers of campers

    We know that each adults (x) cost $9, so it's 9x.

    We also know that we act camper (y) cost $5, so it's 5y.

    There is a budget of $1,200, thus the cost of x and y must less than or equal to $1,200.

    Therefore we have 9x + 5y ≤ $1,200

    We also know that the number of people are 525, so the number of camper and adult must less than or equal to the sum of all people. Therefore, we have

    x + y ≤ 525

    Answer : 9x + 5y ≤ $1,200 and x + y ≤ 525
