Question

Use c for the amount (in dollars) also will spend on candy

Answer 1

Given:

Cost of each candy = $5

Maximum amount of candy he can buy = 8

Let's find the possible amount he will spend on candy.

Given that he will buy at most 8 pounds of candy, this means the total amount he will spend on candy will not be more than 8 pounds.

From the situation, we have the inequality:

`5c\leq8`

Where c represents the amount he will spend on candy.

From the inequality above, let's solve for c.

To find c, divide both sides by 5:

`\begin{gathered} (5c)/(5)\leq(8)/(5) \\ \\ c\leq1.6 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Aldo will spend at most $1.6 on candy.

ANSWER:

`\begin{gathered} inequality\colon5c\leq8 \\ \\ c\leq1.6 \end{gathered}`
