Question

Question 5 7 pts Which of the following inequalities represents the word problem? Bill spent less than $26 on an order of nachos and quesadillas. Nachos were $8 and quesadillas were $5 each. Let q represent the number of quesadillas Bill bought.

Answer 1

The words "spent less than $26" can be symbolized as <$26

Nachos are $8

Quesadillas are $5

If n = number of nachos bought and q the number of quesadillas, you can calculate what he spent as:

8n+5q

Since he bought less that 26 dollars in nachos and quesadillas, you make the inequality:

8n+5q <$26
