Luz used the inequality below to find the maximum number of tablet computers she could purchase to fit her budget.

70x < 350
What is the greatest number of tablet computers that Luz can buy?

Hi there!

If she has to stay under her budget of 350, all you would have to do would be divide 350 by 70. This equals 5.

If the amount the tablet computers cost has to be less than 350, the greatest number of tablet computers she could purchase would be 4, because it's not possible to purchase half a computer.

I hope I helped!
