Question

Tatiana wants to buy friendship bracelets to her 32 classmates. she already has 5 bracelets, and she can buy more bracelets in packages of 4.

write an inequality to determine the number of packages, p, Tatiana could buy to have enough bracelets.

will tatiana have enough bracelets if she buys 5 packages?

Answer 1

32-5= 27 27<4P and 5 packages won’t be enough. 4X5=20 and she needs 27 more

Answer 2

Number of Bracelets that Tatina possesses =5 Bracelets

Number of Classmates of Tatina =32

Number of Bracelets in a Package = 4

Number of Packages that tatina could buy = p

Writing an inequality to determine the number of packages

→5 +4 p ≥ 32

--If she buys 5 packages, p=4

LHS=5+4×5

=5+20

=25 ≤ 32

No, that will be not enough as there are 32 classmates.
