Question

A bag of chips costs $3.79 including tax Mr. Connor wants to purchase chips for his class and has a $15 budget. Write an inequality to solve for the number of bags of chips Mr. Conner can purchase with his budget

Answer 1

3.79*however many he is going to get. (we don't know, so assign it a variable)
But he wants to spend no more than $15.

$3.79x < (or equal to) $15

Answer 2

`3.79x\leq 15`

Explanation:

Given : A bag of chips costs $3.79 including tax Mr. Connor wants to purchase chips for his class and has a $15 budget.

To Find: Write an inequality to solve for the number of bags of chips Mr. Conner can purchase with his budget.

Solution:

Cost of bag of chips is $3.79

Let the no. of bags of chips be x

His budjet is of $15.

Since we are gievn that he cannot buy bags of chips costs more than $15

So, inequality becomes :

`3.79x\leq 15`

Hence an inequality to solve for the number of bags of chips Mr. Conner can purchase with his budget is
`3.79x\leq 15`.
