Question

Cally

Ariana is buying bread and some cheese
to make sandwiches for a family picnic
She cannot spend more than $50. She
has already bought 3 loaves of bread for
$3,36 each. The cheese she wants to
buy costs $4.99 per pound. Which of the
following inequalities correctly models
the amount of cheese x, In pounds, that
Ariana can buy?
OA. 3.36 4.99€ < 50

Answer 1

`10.08+4.99x\leq 50`

`x\leq 8`

The maximum pounds of cheese that Ariana can buy is 8

Explanation:

Let

x ---> the amount of cheese In pounds, that Ariana can buy

we know that

The cost of 3 loaves of bread plus the cost of the cheese must be less than or equal to $50

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

`3(3.36)+4.99x\leq 50`

`10.08+4.99x\leq 50`

solve for x

subtract 10.08 both sides

`4.99x\leq 50-10.08`

`4.99x\leq 39.92`

divide by 4.99 both sides

`x\leq 8`

Therefore

The maximum pounds of cheese that Ariana can buy is 8
