You have $11.50 and you need to make copies of a flyer at a store that charges $0.15

per copy. Find the inequality that represents the number of copies you can make. Use
x as the variable.
What is the maximum number of copies you can afford to make?

Answer:

76
This is because, when you exceed 76 copies, the cost will be greater than 11.50 and you will not be able to afford it.

Explanation:

To solve this inequality, you can divide both sides by 0.15: x <= 76.67
