Question

You have $30 to buy muffins. However, at the shop you can buy 1 muffin for $4. (a) Write an inequality from the above information. (b) Solve this inequality to find the number of muffins you can buy. (c) How much money will you have left over?​

Answer 1

Let m be the number of muffins.

b) m <= 7.5, so the maximum number of muffins to buy is 7.

c) $4 × 7 = $28, so $2 will be left over.
