spend on soda and pizza.
Soda (2-liter)
Large Pizza
$1.25, including tax
$7.50, including tax
She knows she has to buy five 2-Liter bottles of soda.
Choose the inequality and calculate how many pizzas she can buy.
A 5(1.25) +7.50p ≥ 55; 7 pizzas
B 5(7.50) +1.25p> 55; 6 pizzas
C 5(7.50) +1.25p ≤ 55; 7 pizzas
D 5(1.25)+7.50p ≤ 55; 6 pizzas

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

He has max $55, so the total cost must be minor or equal to this value

6.25 + 7.50p ≤ 55

7.50p ≤ 55 - 6.25

7.50p ≤ 48.75

p ≤ 48.75 / 7.50

p ≤ 6.5

p = 6
