Question

Alice buys some inexpensive bracelets and necklaces as party favors for her jewelry showing. She pays $8 for each necklace (N) and $7 for each bracelet (B). She spends less than $120. Which inequality models this situation?

A) 7B + 8N ≤ 120
B) 7B + 8N > 120
C) 7B + 8N ≥ 120
D) 7B + 8N < 120

Answer 1

D: 7B+8N<120

Explanation:

The total amount of the bracelets and necklaces is less than $120, so if you add the price of each necklace ($8) and the price of each bracelet ($7), it will be <$120.

Answer 2

Answer: D.
`7B + 8N < 120`

Explanation:

Given : Alice buys some inexpensive bracelets and necklaces as party favors for her jewelry showing.

She pays $8 for each necklace (N) and $7 for each bracelet (B).

Then , the cost of N necklaces = $8N

Cost of B bracelets = $7B

Total money spent = Cost of N necklaces+ Cost of B bracelets

=$(8N+7B)

She spends less than $120.

i.e. $(8N+7B) < $120

Hence, the inequality models this situation :

`7B + 8N < 120`
