Answer 1

The number of balloons Raj could buy is 8.

Explanation:

Given:

Raj has a $25 budget to spend on decorations for a party.

He has already spent $18.60.

He wants to get some helium balloons that’s cost $0.80 each.

Now, to write and solve an inequality to show the number of balloons Raj could buy.

Let the number of balloons be
`x.`

Cost of each balloons = $0.80.

So, the total cost of balloons =
`0.80x.`

He already spent = $18.60.

Total budget Raj has = $25.

Now, to solve an inequality to show the number of balloons:

`0.80x+18.60\leq 25`

Subtracting both sides by 18.60 we get:

`0.80x\leq 6.40`

Dividing both sides by 0.80 we get:

`x\leq 8.`

Therefore, the number of balloons Raj could buy is 8.
