Question

Teegan likes to play golf. He has budgeted $55 next month for the driving range. It costs him $10.15 for a bucket of balls each time he goes. What is the maximum number of times he can go to the driving range next month?

Answer 1

Let t be the total cost of going playing golf during the month; therefore,

`t\le55`

Since Teegan has no more than $55 to spend.

Furthermore, if x is the number of buckets of balls,

`t=10.15x`

Therefore,

`\Rightarrow10.15x\le55`

Solving for x,

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x\le(55)/(10.15)=5.4187\ldots \\ \Rightarrow x\le5.4187\ldots \end{gathered}`

Thus, the maximum number of times he can go is 5 times.
