Question

erin has $50 she wants to purchase a cell phone ($20) and spend the rest on music CD's. each music CD costs $8. write an inequality for the number of music CD's she can purchase

Answer 1

Given:

Total Amount she has = $50

Amount she wants to spend on cellphone = $20

If she wants to spend the remaining amount on music CD's where each CD cost $8, let's write the inequality to represent this situation below.

Let C represent number of CDs

We have:

20 + 8C ≤ 50

Therefore, the inequality for the number of music CD's she can purchase is:

20 + 8C ≤ 50

ANSWER:

20 + 8C ≤ 50
