Question

You order a new pair of running shoes from a website that offers free shipping on orders of $75 or more. Your shoes cost $69.95.

a. Write and solve an inequality that represents how much more you must spend to get free shipping.

b. The cost of shipping your shoes is $7.79. Would you purchase another item in order to get free shipping? Explain.

Answer 1

a. 69.95+x ≥ 75 Where x is the amount you must spend to get free shipping

b. Yes. You only have to spend $5.05 to get free shipping, rather than pay 7.79 for paid shipping. It is cheaper to get another product.

Hope this helps
