Answer:

C: 120x+92y<1,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the band plays at an hourly rate of $120 for x hours, the total cost of the band playing is 120x.

Also the DJ can play for the remaining time at an hourly rate of $92 for y hours, the total cost of the band playing is 92y

The total cost of the band is DJ playing is thus 120x + 92y.

Since we require this to be under $1,300, we us the less than sign '<' to show the relation.

So, 120x + 92y < 1300

So, the answer is C
