Question

Elena received a $25 gift card to a fun center. She drives a race car which costs $4.75. She also wants to use the gift card to play video games. Each game costs $0.75 which of these inequalities describe this situation, where n is the number of games Elena wants to play.

A. 4.75 + 0.75. ≤ 25
B. 4.75 + 0.75. ≥ 25
C. 4.75 - 0.75. ≥ 25
D. 4.75 - 0.75. ≤ 25

Answer 1

Answer: B - 4.75 + 0.75 is greater than 25

Explanation:

so, first you have 4.75 and she want to play video games that cost 0.75 each but we don't know how many video games she played.

1. so, n = how many video games played
2. 4.75 + 0.75n =? which is greater than 25
3. divide 4.75 + 0.75n
4. 0.75 0.75
5. after dividing you will get 4,100 + 1n =
6. which equals 4.101 is greater than 25

Answer 2

Answer is 4.75 + .75n ≤ 25

Reason

If you add the race car $4.75 plus .75 per game which is the variable we don’t know, it should be less than or equal to the $25 gift card. So
4.75 + .75n ≤ 25

None of the answers above include the “n” for the number of games Elena wants to play.
I think it might be A. but you forgot the n?

It would not be B, she can’t spend more than the gift card.
It wouldn’t be C or D, those subtract the cost of games.
