Question

Ashton has $75 to spend at a skateboard shop. He buys a skateboard deck for $24.95 and a helmet for $19.99. He wants to buy as many extra wheels as he can. The wheels cost $1.75 each. Write an inequality to represent the number of wheels Ashton can buy, and graph the solution set on the number line.

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

Explained without words:

([75 - 24.95] - 19.99 ) / 1.75

([50.05] - 19.99) / 1.75

(30.06) / 1.75 = 17.1771428571

17.1771428571 = 17
