Write and inequality to solve for the number of bags of chips Mr.Connor can purchase with his budget A. $15x > $3.79 B.$15x < $3.79 C $3.79 > $15 D. $3.79 < $15 (There is a flat line under all the greater than and less than signs)

Answer 1

D.
`3.79x\leq 15`

Explanation:

We are given that

Cost of one bag of chips including tax=$3.79

Mr.Connor has budget=$15

We have to write an equality to solve for the number of bags of chips can purchased by Mr.Connor with his budget.

Let x be the number of bags of chips

According to question

`3.79x\leq 15`

Hence, option D is true.

Answer:D.
`3.79x\leq 15`

Answer 2

The inequality equation that could best express the statement will be letter d. 3.79x < 15. This is because there is only 15 budget from Mr. Connor, and his spending must not exceed the budget. Then the price per pack is 3.79, so it is express as 3.79x.
