Question

Jade has $22 to spend at the grocery store. He is going to buy bags of Takis that cost $4 each and one box of Oreos that costs $3.50. Write and solve an inequality that models this situation, and could be used to determine the maximum number of bags of takis, t, that Jade can buy.

Answer 1

4 bags of takis

Explanation:

take the $22 and subtract the $3.50 for the oreos, this leaves you with $18.50.

now, take the $18.50 and divide that by $4 (the amount takis cost) and you will find out how many bas he will he able to buy.

18.50/4 = 4.6 he will be able to buy only 4 bags and will have $2.50 left over
