Question

Jimmy has a collection of baseball cards. He wants to make at most $50.00 by selling some of them for $3.00 per card. Which inequality best represents this goal?

\$3.00c\geq\$50.00


\$3.00c\leq\$50.00


\$3.00c=\$50.00


\$3.00c<\$50.00


\$3.00c>\$50.00


I don't know

Answer 1

Let the no of cards be c

• Rate per card=$3

Now

The inequality is

• 3×c≤50
• 3c≤50

Or

• 3.00c≤50.00

Answer 2

• 3c ≤ 50

Explanation:

Each card is sold by $3, the number of cards is c.

The total is 3c and it needs to be at most $50:

• 3c ≤ 50

Is the correct inequality for this case
