To determine how many campers \( c \) can be at the camp, we start with the total number of ordered badges, which is 200. If 25 badges are given to counselors, we subtract that from the total: \[ 200 - 25 = 175 \] This means there are 175 badges available for campers. Since each camper receives at least 3 badges, we can set up the inequality: \[ 3c \leq 175 \] Now, we solve for \( c \): \[ c \leq \frac{175}{3} \] Calculating this gives: \[ c \leq 58.33 \] Since the number of campers must be a whole number, the maximum number of campers could be 58. For part b, not all values on the graph of \( c \leq 58 \) are possible solutions, because \( c \) must be a non-negative integer. While the graph extends infinitely to the left (allowing negative values), only whole numbers from 0 to 58 are valid solutions in this context, as you can’t have a negative or fractional number of campers!
