Question

Jack has $65 to spend on art supplies. He needs to buy an easel

that costs $18. He also wants to buy some canvases that cost $11 each.
Which of the following inequalities represents the amount of money Jack
can spend if he buys nn canvases?
A. 65218+11n
B. 6518+11n
C. 65s18+11n
D. 6518+11n

Answer 1

After subtracting the cost of the easel from Jack's total budget, the inequality representing the maximum amount Jack can spend on canvases is 65 - 18 ≥ 11n, where n is the number of canvases. This answer corresponds with the given option D. So, the best answer is d, D. 6518+11n

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking how to represent the amount of money Jack can spend on canvases given his budget and the cost of an easel. First, we calculate the money remaining after purchasing the easel:

Money remaining = Total budget - Cost of easel

= $65 - $18

= $47

Next, we represent the amount of money Jack can spend on canvases using an inequality. If n is the number of canvases, and each canvas costs $11, then the cost for n canvases is $11n. Jack can spend up to $47 on these canvases, so the inequality that represents this situation is:

47 ≥ 11n

Therefore, the correct inequality from the given options that represents the maximum amount Jack can spend on n canvases after buying an easel is:

65 - 18 ≥ 11n

So, the best answer is d, D. 6518+11n
