Jacque needs to buy some pizzas for a party at her office. She's ordering from a restaurant that charges a ‍$7.50 delivery fee and ‍$14 per pizza. She wants to buy as many pizzas as she can, and she also needs to keep the delivery fee plus the cost of the pizzas under ‍$60.

Each pizza is cut into ‍8 slices, and she wonders how many total slices she can afford.

Let $$P$$ represent the number of pizzas that Jacque buys.

Which inequality describes this scenario?
- Choose 1 answer:
1. $$7.50+14P < 60$$
2. $$7.50+14P > 60$$
3. $$14+7.50P < 60$$
4. $$14+7.50P > 60$$
What is the largest number of slices that Jacque can afford?
