Question

Jordan went to the store with $90.He wants to purchase a leather jacket for $45,a hat for $10,and the rest on jeans.Each pair of jeans costs $35.Write an inequality for the number of jeans he can purchase

Answer 1

x <= 1.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of jeans Jordan can purchase.

We know that the total cost of the leather jacket, hat and jeans is $45 + $10 + $35x = $45 + $10 + $35x.

We also know that the total cost cannot exceed the amount of money Jordan has, which is $90.

So we can write the inequality: $45 + $10 + $35x <= $90

Solving for x, we get: $35x <= $35

x <= 1

So the number of jeans Jordan can purchase is x <= 1.
