Question

On Sunday, the owners of the Middletown Café are giving away muffins. The owners budgeted $75 to spend on muffins for the event, and each muffin costs $0.82. The inequality 75≥0.82m 75 ≥ 0 . 82 , where m is the number of muffins, represents the situation. How many customers could possibly get a muffin? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

We can solve the inequality for m to find the maximum number of muffins that can be purchased within the budget of $75:

75 ≥ 0.82m

Divide both sides by 0.82:

m ≤ 91.46

Since m must be a whole number, the maximum number of muffins that can be purchased is 91. Therefore, 91 customers could possibly get a muffin.
