Question

HELP! A S A P! ONLY ANSWER IF YOU'RE 100% SURE.

Quan plans to spend less than $80 for buying groceries. He plans to spend $68.25 on food and spend the rest on juice. Each juice carton costs $3. He is curious how many juice cartons he can purchase before he runs out of money.

Use x to represent the number of juice cartons Quan can purchase and write an inequality that can be used to solve for x.

Answer 1

ANSWER

Three (3) cartons of juice




Y=3X+68.25

80=3X+68.25
Subtract 68.25 from both sides
11.75=3X

Divide

11.75/3=3.91
He can't buy a portion of a juice but he doesn't have enough to buy 4

So he can afford 3 juice cartons
