Question

A sandwich shop charges $3.75 for a sandwich with meat and cheese and $0.15 for each additional topping. You can spend at most $5.25 for one sandwich. Which inequality could you use to figure out the number of toppings, n, you can have?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 3.75+0.15n <_ (less than or equal to) 5.25

Explanation:

I dont know how to make the less than or equal to sign

But it is right

Answer 2

3.75 + 0.15n ≤ 5.25

Explanation:

You can not spend more than $5.25 so the inequality sign must be less than or equal to

If you know the shop charges a minimum of $3.75 for a sandwich, you need to include that in your equation

The $0.15 for additional toppings is included as $0.15 multiplied by n (0.15n)

n can be from 0-10, as 10 is the most toppings you can get before you go over your spending limit and you don't have to pay for additional toppings if you don't want to.
