The inequality to represent the situation is p + 1 ≤ 15
Kelli cannot spend more than $14 on grapes
Writing an inequality to represent the situation
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
- The number of pounds of grapes Kelli buys = 1
- The price per pound of grapes. = p
- Kelli's total budget = 15
Represented as an inequality, we have
p + 1 ≤ 15
The graph of the inequality expression is attached
Solving for p, we have
p ≤ 14
The solutions implies that the Kelli cannot spend more than $14 on grapes
