1. A bag of chips costs $3.79 including tax Mr. Connor wants to purchase chips for his class and has a $15 budget. Write and inequality to solve for the number of bags of chips Mr. Connor can purchase with his budget

A. $15x > $3.79

B.$15x < $3.79

C $3.79 > $15

D. $3.79 < $15

(There is a flat line under all the greater than and less than signs)

2. A cab charges $1.75 for the first mile $0.25 for each additional mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles eddie can travel if he has $15

A. $1.75 + $0.25x < $15; x < 53 miles

B. $1.75 + $0.25x > $15; x >53 miles

C. $0.25 + $1.75x < $15; x< 8 miles

D.$0.25 + $1.75x > $15; x > 8 miles

Dangelo Mcintyre · Answer 1

1) Price for one bag is 3.79

price for x bags is x*3.79

since he has 15 dollars budget the inequality is:

3.79*x ≤ 15

2) the inequality is 1.75 + 0.25*x < 15 because every mile after first one costs 0.25. X miles after first one cost x*0.25 so we have to sum that price with price of first mile and that sum needs to be less than money that eddie has.

x < 53
