Question

Laura is the fund-raising manager for a Local charity. She is Ordering caps for an upcoming charity walk. the company that makes the caps charges six dollars per cap plus a $25 shipping fee Laura has a budget of $1000 what is the greatest number of cats so she can buy

Answer 1

162 caps.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of caps.

We have been given that cost of one cap is $6, so cost of x caps will be equal to 6x.

We are also told that the company charges an amount of $25 for shipping, so total cost of buying x caps will be equal to the cost of x caps plus shipping charges ().

Since Laura has a budget of $1,000, so cost of x caps will be less than or equal to 1,000. We can represent this information in an equation as:

Now let us solve for x.

Let us divide both sides of our inequality by 6.
