Complete Question
A restaurant owner is ordering new chef uniforms. Each uniform has a jacket and pants. The jackets cost $37.99 each, plus a one-time fee of $70.00 to add the restaurant's logo. The pants cost $27.99 each.
The restaurant owner can spend $550 for uniforms. Write an inequality to find the number of uniforms she can afford to buy.
Answer:
65.98x + 70 ≤ 550
Explanation:
The jackets cost $37.99 each
The pants cost $27.99 each.
One-time fee of $70.00
Therefore, an inequality to find the number of uniforms she can afford to buy can be written as:
$(37.99 + 27.99)x + 70 ≤ $550
65.98x + 70 ≤ 550
