Answer:

x = 16 treata

Explanation:

Let us represent x = Number of treats that Tim can buy

We are told that: Tim does not want to spend more than $62.00 in all.

= Time wants to spend less than or equal to $62.00

Tim is going to an amusement park that cost $30.00 to get into.Treats like cotton candy carmel apples and funnel cakes cost 2.00 dollars each .

Therefore, our inequality equation =

$30.00 + $2.00 × x ≤ $62.00

30 + 2x ≤ 62

Solving for x

30 + 2x ≤ 62

2x ≤ 62 - 30

2x ≤ 32

x ≤ 32/2

x ≤ 16

Hence, Tim can buy no more than(less than or equal to ) 16 treats
