Question

Courtney has $50 to spend at the county fair. She spends $10 on admission and $15 on snacks. The games at the fair cost $1.25 each. Which inequality could be used to find the maximum number of x games that Courtney can play while at the fair?

Answer 1

$1.25x + $10 + $15 (less than or equal to) $50

Answer 2

So, with the reaming 25 dollars she can play at max 20 games.

Explanation:

Given that

Amount Courtney has to spend = $ 50

Amount Spent on Admission = $ 10

Amount Spent on Snacks = $ 15

Price of a Game at Share = $ 1.25

Now, lets find the total amount spent by her already

Amount Spent = 50 - 10 - 15 = $ 25

Suppos x represent the number of games so, we can represent the remaining amount and in term of games that can be purchased by using it

`1.25x\leq25`

the above inequality can be simplified as follows

`x\leq(25)/(1.25)`

`x\leq20`

So, with the reaming 25 dollars she can play at max 20 games.
