Question

Micheal is buying Presents for a gift exchange for his four friends. He would like to spend less than $160 total. On average, how much can he spend on each person? Write out the Inequality as well.

Answer 1

Micheal will spent 40 $ on each of his friends

Explanation:

160$÷4=40$

why because there is 160 dollars to spend and there are 4 friends now you need to divide that to get the amount of money you need.

Answer 2

x≤40. He can spend about $40 on each friend

Explanation:

I got this because a number x is the amount of money he can spend on a friend on average. The inequality is then written like 4x≤160. You then try to get "x" on its own by dividing both sides by 4 (both sides being 4x and 160). then you get the average amount Michael can spend on his friends.
