Question

Riley and Rhoda plan to buy 2 bags of dog food and a dog collar (x). Each bag of dog food costs $7 and the dog collar costs $4.50. They have $30.Write an inequality and solve :Explain what your solution means for riley and rhoda:

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

-Riley and Rhoda bags= 2 ---> x

- Bag cost = $7

-Collar cost = $4.5

They can spend $30.

7x + 4.5 ≤ 30

Now, we need to solve the inequality as shown as follows:

Adding -4.5 to both sides,

7x ≤ 30 - 4.5

Simplifying:

7x ≤ 25.5

Dividing both sides by 7:

x ≤ 25.5/7

Simplifying:

x ≤ 3.64 approx 3.64 bags, therefore 3 bags of dog food

Answer: Since the bags are available in full units, with their $30, Riley and Rhoda will buy 0, 1, 2, or 3 bags and 0 or 1 dog tag.
