Question

11. Natalie budgets $165 for yoga training. She buys a yoga mat for $13.25 and pays $12 per yoga class. Fill in the boxes below to write an inequality to represent the number of classes, c, that Natalie can take and stay within her budget.

Answer 1

She has a budget of $165, so the total cost of the yoga mat and the classes has to be equal or less than $165.

`C\le165`

The cost is equal to the cost of the yoga mat ($13.25) and the cost of the classes ($12*c, being c the number of classes).

We can write this as:

`C=13.25+12c`

We then can combine both equations and get:

`13.25+12c\le165`

That inequality represents that the total expenses of Natalie have to be equal or less than $165.

Answer: 13.25 + 12c <= 165
