Question

You have $5.25 to make copies. Each copy costs $0.40. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number of copies you can make.

Answer 1

x <= 13

maximum 13 or less than 13 copies can be made

Explanation:

amount you have to make copies $5.25

let x be the number of copies we can make from $5.25

1 copy costs $.40

x copies cost 5.25/.40

x = 13

thus, the number of copies which can be made from $5.25 is maximum 13 or less than 13,

x <= 13
