Question

I kind of get the question, I got the inequality 1.5x+9.75y <= 50; however, I don't know how to solve it or get the # of ebooks.

Let x represent the number of songs, and let y represent the number of ebooks.

Answer 1

0 ≤ y ≤ 5

Explanation:

As you found, the inequality is:

1.5x + 9.75y ≤ 50

The most e-books Kim can buy is when x = 0.

9.75y ≤ 50

y ≤ 5.13

y must be an integer, so the number of e-books Kim can buy is 0 ≤ y ≤ 5.
