2. The girls decide to only spend $40 between them. On average, what is the most each girl can spend? Write and solve an inequality for this situation

3. How many ice creams can the girls buy if they only want to spend $10 on ice cream? Write and solve an inequality for this situation

Answer 1

$40 / x ; $10 / y

Explanation:

1.)

For the question, the number of girls aren't given ;

Assume the number of girls = x

The total amount they agreed to spend between themselves = $40

Amount spent on average :

Total amout to be spent / number of girls

Amount spent on average by each girl = $40 / x

2.)

The cost of ice cream isnt given;

Assume, cost per ice cream $y

Amount to be spent on on ice-cream = $10

Number of ice creams that can be purchased :

Amount to be spent on ice-cream / cost per ice cream

$10 / y
