Answer 1

`15x\leq 200`

Explanation:

Given : . A case of tea bags costs 15 gold coins .

To Find: What inequality shows the number of cases of tea bags mad hatter can buy if he has ,at most ,200 gold coins

Solution :

Let x number of cases he can buy mad hatter can buy if he has ,at most ,200 gold coins

1 case of tea bags cost 15 gold coins

x case of tea bags cost gold coins = 15x

Since we are given that he has ,at most ,200 gold coins

So, he can buy for less or equal to 200 gold coins

So, equation becomes :

`15x\leq 200`

Hence inequality shows the number of cases of tea bags mad hatter can buy if he has ,at most ,200 gold coins :
`15x\leq 200`
