Question

Amanda has $40 to spend on flowers. She wants to

buy a pair of red rose flowers for $18 and spend
the rest on lily flowers. Each lily flower costs $11. Write an inequality for the number of lily flowers she can purchase.

A- 11x + 18 is greater than 40
B- 11x + 18 is less than 40
C- 11x + 18 is less than or equal to 40
D- 11x + 18 is greater than or equal to 40

Answer 1

it is option c

Explanation:

she has only 40 dollars so it can't be option a or d

18 is a fixed value and the cost on lily varies (depending upon the number of lily she buys)

so we come to the answer 11x + 18 is lesser than or equal to 40
