If the price of the cake is $45 and each balloon costs $15.
how many balloons can she buy?


Need the inequality and equality answer, and final answer

Answer 1

The answer is 3

Explanation:

You have to subtract 120-45 and that gets you to 75 Then divide 75 by 15 and that gives you 3. So the answer is 3

Answer 2

15n + 45 ≤ 120

n ≤ 5

She can buy up to 5 balloons.

Explanation:

Fixed amount: $45

Amount per balloon: $15

Let n = number of balloons

Total expense: maximum of $120, which means less than or wequal to $120

15n + 45 ≤ 120

15n ≤ 75

n ≤ 5

She can buy up to 5 balloons.
