Question

You have budgeted $100 to improve your swimming over the summer. At your local pool, it costs $50 to join the swim association and $5 for each swim class. Write and solve an inequality to find the possible numbers of swim classes you can attend with

Answer 1

Answer: 10

Explanation:

Given : The fixed cost to join the swim association = $50

Then , the cost for each swim class = $5

Let x be the numbers of swim classes you can attend with, then we have the inequality below:-

`50+5x\leq100`

To solve this for x , we first subtract 50 on both sides, we get

`5x\leq50`

Now, divide both sides by 5 , we get

`x\leq(50)/(5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\leq10`

Hence, the possible numbers of swim classes you can attend with =10
