Question

Jordan wants to spend no more than $30 at the bowling alley. The bowling alley charges a flat fee of $10 to enter. They also charge $4 per game. Write an inequality for the number of games (x) that Jordan can play and describe the solutions.

Answer 1

The number of games that Jordan can play is 5 or less than 5.

The solution is
`x\leq 5.`

Explanation:

Given:

The total amount Jordan wants to spend at the bowling alley = $30.

The flat fee charges of bowling alley to enter = $10.

The per game charge = $4.

Now, to write an inequality and find the solution of the number of games that Jordan can play.

Let the number of games be
`x.`

Now, to write an inequality to solve it:

`4(x)+10\leq 30`

Subtracting both sides by 10 we get:

`4x\leq 20`

Dividing both sides by 4 we get:

`x\leq 5.`

Therefore, the number of games that Jordan can play is 5 or less than 5.

The solution is
`x\leq 5.`
