bracelets, which are $3.25 each. All prices include taxes.
Which inequality can be used to solve for how many bracelets Omar can buy?
ОА.
3.25x + 13.50 S 40
OB.
3.25x + 13.50 240
Oc.
13.50x +3.25 S 40
OD.
13.50x +3.25 2 40

Answer 1

3.25x + 13.50 ≤ 40

Explanation:

For this problem, you have to directly make the equation. Using the givens, it shows that he has only 40 dollars, and wants to buy only one hat for 13. 50. He wants to buy his friends braclets 3.25, but since you dont know how many friends its for, you will leave it as x.

There is only 40 dollars so you will use: ≤

The answer will be:

3.25x + 13.50 ≤ 40

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

A. 3.25x + 13.50 ≤ 40

The number of bracelets is x. It's a variable.

The 13.50 is a constant.

The total needs to be less than or equal to 40 because that's all the money he has.
