Answer:
They can buy up to 240 drinks.
Explanation:
Let x = number of drinks
The price of 1 drink is 75¢ = $0.75
The price of x drinks is 0.75x
The store gives a discount of $100.
The rice of x drinks is
0.75x - 100
The total price of the drinks must be less than or equal to $80.
0.75x - 100 ≤ 80
Add 100 to both sides.
0.75x ≤ 180
Divide both sides by 0.75
x ≤ 240
Answer: They can buy up to 240 drinks.
