Question

it costs $x for a round trip bus ticket to the mall. You have $24. Write an inequality to represent the greatest amount of money you can spend for the bus fare and still have enough money to buy the baseball cap which is $18.99

Answer 1

Answer:
`x + 18.99 \leq 24`

Explanation:

Since, the cost of bus fair = x dollars,

Also, a baseball cap which is $18.99 is needed to buy with the given money,

Hence, total expenditure = x + 18.99

While the given money for spending = 24 dollars,

That is, the expenditure can not be exceeded to $ 24.

Thus, the required inequality,

`x + 18.99 \leq 24`
