Answer:

At the maximum Josie can be 17 games.

Explanation:

Given that:

Total money available with Josie to be spent at a festival = $30

Entry ticket for the festival = $5

Ticket for each game = $1.40

To find:

The inequality to represent the situation and the number of games that Josie can play.

Solution:

Ticket for 1 game = $1.40

Let
n number of games can be played.

So, Ticket for
n games = $1.40
n

Total money spent = $1.40
n + $5

It is should be lesser than or equal to $30.


1.40n + 5 \leq 30\\\Rightarrow 1.40n \leq 25\\\Rightarrow n \leq 17.8

Therefore, at the maximum Josie can be 17 games.
