Question

Jane buys candy that costs $6 per pound. She will buy less than 5 pounds of candy. What are the possible amounts she will spend on candy?

Answer 1

$0 < x < $30

Explanation:

To find:-

• The possible amounts that Jane will pay for candies .

Answer:-

We are here given that , Jane buys candies which are $6 per pound . She buys less than 5 pounds on candies .

Now since she purchased some candies therefore, the amount she spent will be greater than " 0 " .

Now she buys less than 5 pounds of candies . Cost of that would be $6*5 = $30 .

Hence she purchased somewhere between them that is between $0 and $30 .

If we denote the amount spent by Jane on candies by "x" , then ; we can represent this situation as ;

`:\implies \sf \pink{ \$ 0 < x < \$30} \\`

Hence the required answer is " $0 < x < $30 .
