Answer:

The answer is the option D

the minimum number of students will be \(19\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the minimum number of students

we know that

\(15x\geq 275\) ------> inequality that represent the situation

The domain of the inequality is the interval-------> \([0,24]\)

Solve for x

Divide by \(15\) both sides

\(x\geq 275/15\\ x\geq 18.33\)

so

the minimum number of students will be \(19\)
