PLEASE ANSWER FAST

Travis wants to buy some CDs over the Internet. Each CD costs $8.01 and has a shipping cost of $9.95 per order. If Travis wants to spend no more than $50 for his CDs, which inequality shows the maximum number of CDs, p, that he can buy?


9.95p − 8.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 2

9.95p + 8.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 4

9.95 + 8.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 5

9.95 − 8.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 6

Answer:

9.95 + 8.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 5

Explanation:

So to set up the equation you must first add 9.95+ because every order has a shipping fee of 9.95

Then you put in 8.01 is less than or equal to 50 because p representing a number of players is being multiplied by the unit cost 8.01. Trace is also wants the total to be under 50 dollars

Finally p is less than or equal to 5 because if you put the value 5 in for p in the equation, the equation is true.

The whole equation is 9.95 + 8.01p ≤ 50, so p ≤ 5
