Question

admission to o a carnival is $5 and each game at the carnival costs $0.85. you have $15 to spend on admissions and games. what is the maximum number of games you can play

Answer 1

11 games

Explanation:

Write and solve an inequality:

$5 + ($0.85)x ≤ $15

Subtracting $5 from both sides, we get:

($0.85)x ≤ $10.

$10

Then x ≤ ------------- = 11.76

$0.85

But you can play only an integer number of games. Thus, we round x down to 11.

The max number of games you can play is 11.
