Question

Mar has a gift card for $40.00 at a gift shop. Omar wants to buy a hat for himself for $13.50. For his friends, he would like to buy souvenir bracelets, which are $3.25 each. All prices include taxes.

Which inequality can be used to solve for how many bracelets Omar can buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 3.25 x < 26.50. He ca buy 8 bracelets

Explanation:

Omar has a gift card for $40.00.

Omar bought a hat for $13.50

You subtract the following = $40.00 - $13.50 = $26.50

Next He would like to buy souvenir bracelets for his friends.

Each bracelet costs the following = $3.25

Let "x" stand for the number of bracelets he can buy.

This would be the equation 3.25x ≤ 26.50

Now time to solve the inequality.

Dividing both sides by 3.25, we get the following answer X<8.15

The bracelets cannot be in decimal form.

So we round off to nearest whole number.

Which is the following number x ≤ 8

Therefore, we know Omar can buy 8 bracelets.

Hope this helps :)
