To find out how many snacks Anna can buy, we need to subtract the cost of the ticket from her total budget and then divide the remaining amount by the cost of each snack:
Remaining budget = $35 - $9.50 = $25.50
Number of snacks = $25.50 ÷ $3.50 ≈ 7.29
However, since Anna cannot buy a fraction of a snack, she can only buy a maximum of 7 snacks.
The inequality that represents this situation is:
9.50 + 3.50x ≤ 35
To check which numbers are solutions, we can substitute them into the inequality and see if the resulting statement is true or false. Here are the options:
5 is not a solution (9.50 + 3.50*5 = 27 < 35)
7 is a solution (9.50 + 3.50*7 = 33.50 < 35)
10 is a solution (9.50 + 3.50*10 = 44 > 35)
Therefore, the solution is that Anna can buy a maximum of 7 snacks.
