Question

Sam takes his little sister to a create-your-own doll shop. To create a doll, Sam pays $3.00 for the doll and then $1.50 for each accessory his sister adds.

Which inequality shows how many accessories (x) can be added to the doll in order for the total cost to be $12.00 or less?

Answer 1

The answer is 3.00+1.50x<_ 12

Answer 2

6 accessories can be added.

Explanation:

First, you want to subtract the 3 dollars from the cost.

12 - 3 = 9

Now, you want to divide 9 by 1.50

9/1.50 = 6
