Question

HELP PLEASE :)

8.) Lindsey has $25 to spend on breakfast for a Girl Scout sleepover. She plans to buy boxes that cost $2.50 each and a carton of eggs for $3.98

Part A: Write an inequality to represent the # of possible boxes of cereal Lindsey can buy

Part B: Solve your inequality to find the MAXIMUM # of boxes of cereal Lindsey can buy

Answer 1

let's b is the number of boxes of cereal Lindsey can buy
(3.98 + 2.50)b = 25
6.48 b = 25
b = 3.85
so Lindsey can buy 3.85 boxes of cereal

Answer 2

Let b=boxes SO 25=b(2.50)+3.98 So she would be able to buy 8.4 total boxes.
