Answer 2

The required inequity is:
`5x\leq 12`

The price of a gold fish should be less than or equal to $2.4 so that you can by 5 fish.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

You have $12 to buy five goldfish for your new fish tank.

Let the cost of a goldfish is $x.

For 5 gold fish you needs to pay $5x.

Thus, the required inequity is:

`5x\leq 12`

We use less than equal to sign as you can pay $12 but not more than it.

Now simplify the above inequity as shown:

Divide both the sides by 5

`(5x)/(5)\leq (12)/(5)`

`x\leq 2.4`

Thus, the price of a gold fish should be less than or equal to $2.4 so that you can by 5 fish.
