5 ≥ 0.5x + 3

Explanation:

I got OCD.

Answer 2

The number of ounce of topping that can be get is 4 .

Explanation:

Given as :

The cost of a sundae = $3

The cost for each extra ounce of toppings = $0.50

Let The number of ounce of topping = n

The total spending cost on sundae with n extra topping = $5

Now, According to question

The total spending cost on sundae with n extra topping = The cost of a sundae + The number of ounce of topping × The cost for each extra ounce of toppings

Or , $3 + n × $0.50 = $5

or, 3 + 0.50 n = 5

or , 0.50 n = 5 - 3

or, 0.50 n = 2

∴ n =
`(2)/(0.50)`

I.e n = 4

So, The number of ounce of topping = n = 4

Hence The number of ounce of topping that can be get is 4 . Answer
