Question

Benjamin decides to treat himself to breakfast at his favorite restaurant. He orders chocolate milk that costs \$3.25$3.25dollar sign, 3, point, 25. Then, he wants to buy as many pancakes as he can, but he wants his bill to be at most \$30$30dollar sign, 30 before tax. The restaurant only sells pancakes in stacks of 444 pancakes for \$5.50$5.50dollar sign, 5, point, 50. Let SSS represent the number of stacks of pancakes that Benjamin buys.

Answer 1

3.25+5.50S<30

Explanation:

Benjamin can afford at most 16 pancakes

Answer 2

4 stacks of packages

4 * 4 = 16 pieces of pancake

Explanation:

Maximum amount to spend ≤ $30

Milk chocolate = $3.25

Pancakes per stack = 5.50 (sold in stacks of 4)

Let number of stacks = s

In equality terms :

3.25 + 5.50s ≤ 30

5.50s ≤ 30 - 3.25

5.50s ≤ 26.75

s ≤ 26.75 / 5.50

s ≤ 4.86

Hence, 4 stacks of pancakes can be purchased
