Luke bought a video game system that costs $99.95 and games that cost $19.99 each. Bella bought a game system that costs $125.79 and games that cost $15.99 each. Luke spent no more than what Bella spent.

Which inequality represents this situation?

99.95 + 19.99x < 125.79 + 15.99x

99.95 + 19.99x < 125.79 + 15.99x

99.95 + 19.99x > 125.79 + 15.99x

99.95 + 19.99x > 125.79 + 15.99x

Answer:

99.95 + 19.99x ≤ 125.79 + 15.99y

Explanation:

Given:

Luke bought a video game system that costs $99.95 and games that cost $19.99 each.

Bella bought a game system that costs $125.79 and games that cost $15.99 each.

Luke spent no more than what Bella spent.

To Find:

Which inequality represents this situation?

Solve:

Let Luke bought = x.

Let Bella bought = y.

How much Luke paid = $99.95 + $19.99 × x = $99.95 + $19.99x

How much Bella paid = $125.79 + $15.99 × y = $125.79 + $15.99y

Luke paid is equal or lesser than how much Bella paid, then

99.95 + 19.99x ≤ 125.79 + 15.99y
