Answer:
The Inequality for the amount of lift tickets she can buy:
a) x < 5
Therefore, to be able to have more than $420 to spend on snowboarding equipment, Helena must buy less than 5 tickets.
Explanation:
We are told in the attached diagram that:
Helena has saved $595 to buy snowboarding equipment.
Lift tickets costs $35 per lift
She wants to have MORE THAN $420 left to spend.
Find the inequality, that represents the number of lift tickets she can buy
Step 1
Amount she can spend on lift tickets is calculated as:
Amount saved - Amount intended to spend on snowboarding
= $595 - $420
= $175
Step 2
Since the price of one lift ticket = $35
Let x represent the number of lift tickets Helena can buy.
Number of lift tickets she can buy = $175/ $35
= 5
The Inequality for the amount of lift tickets she can buy
x < 5
Therefore, to be able to have more than $420 to spend on snowboarding equipment, Helena must buy less than 5 tickets.
