B. 2.50x+85≤125
C. 2.50x+85>125
D. 2.50x+85≥125

Answer 1

Answer: "B"

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph wants to buy some tennis balls. Which costs 2.50$ and tennis racket costs 85$

then, 2.50x+85<125

Answer 2

A. 2.50x + 85 < 125.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of cans of tennis balls that Joseph wants to buy.

The total cost of the tennis racket and x cans of tennis balls is:

Cost = 85 + 2.5x

Joseph wants to make sure that he spends less than $125, so we can set up the inequality:

85 + 2.5x < 125

Simplifying this inequality, we get:

2.5x < 40

x < 16

So Joseph can buy at most 15 cans of tennis balls if he wants to spend less than $125.

However, the question asks for the correct inequality, and the inequality that correctly represents this situation is:

2.50x + 85 < 125

Therefore, your answer is gonna be A. 2.50x + 85 < 125.
