Question

A student is ordering dried chili peppers and corn husks for a cooking class.

Chili peppers cost $13.95 per pound.
Corn husks cost $7.49 per pound.
The student plans to spend less than $80.
Write an inequality to represent this situation. If the student decides to get 3 pounds of Chilli peppers, what is the maximum number of pounds to the nearest whole number of Corn husks this student can get in order to spend less than $80.

Answer 1

5

Step-by-step explanation:

So since 13.95x3=41.85, that means that the student only has $38.15 left. and then you will keep multiplying 7.49 until it is not over 38.15. and so the answer will be 5 which means that he/she spent 37.45 on the leftover money
