Question

Write an inequality to solve the following problem. Carlos wants to send a gift basket to his grandmother. Deliver Quick charges a processing fee of $4.15 plus $0.85 per pound. If Carlos can only spend $15 or less on shipping, what are the possible weights for the gift basket?

4.15 + 0.85x greater than or equal to 15
4.15x + 0.85 less than or equal to 15
4.15x + 0.85 greater than or equal to 15
4.15 + 0.85x less than or equal to 15

Answer 1

4.15 + 0.85x less than or equal to 15, because the weight cost has to be lesser than $15, but can be equal to it as well.
4.15+0.85x
