Question

Jackson is having a birthday party and has $60 to spend. it costs $40 to buy decorations and he wants to buy pizza for each of his friends. if each slice of pizza cost $1.75, how many friends can he invite to his party? Write and solve and inequality to represent the situation

Answer 1

11 FRIENDS

Explanation:

Jackson has 60$, and he spends 40$ on decal, that leaves him 20 dollars. And if each slice of pizza costs 1.75, you would divide 20$ by 1.75$.

1.75/20 = 11.4...

Answer 2

I believe it would be 40+1.75x is less than or equal to 60. The answer would be 11 or about 11 but it can’t be 12 it’s over 20.
