Question

Tickets to the movie cost $6.25 each, and parking costs $5. How many tickets, t, can you buy with no more than $30?

a) Write the inequality.
b) Solve the inequality.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, set up an inequality and solve for t. The maximum number of tickets that can be purchased is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find the maximum number of tickets, t, that can be purchased with no more than $30. We can set up an inequality to represent this: 6.25t + 5 <= 30. Here's how we solve the inequality:

1. Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality: 6.25t <= 25
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 6.25: t <= 4

The maximum number of tickets that can be purchased with no more than $30 is 4 tickets.
