Question

Simon has $315 to buy MP3 players for 5 people. Each MP3 player costs $m, with a $4 packing fee per player and a $10 shipping fee per order. The inequality 5(m + 4) + 10 £ 315 represents the situation. Suppose each MP3 player costs $55. Does Simon have enough money to buy an MP3 player for each person? Explain

Answer 1

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation 5(m+4) + 10 m = 55$

First plug m in for 55, so 55+4 = 59

Then multiply by 5 , so 5(59) = 295

And lastly add 10, so 295+10 = 305
