Question

Adrian has $190 to spend on his little brother's birthday party. The clown is going to

cost $80. The soda will cost $10. The paper products will also cost $10. His present will
cost $20. Instead of a cake, he plans to get cupcakes. Cupcakes from the bakery cost
$3.50 each. Create an inequality that can be solved to determine how many cupcakes
Adrian can buy with his budget.
A) 120 + 3.50< 190
B) 190 < 3.50x + 120
C) 3.50x + 120 > 190
D) 1202 +3.50 < 190

Answer 1

120 + 3.5x≤ 190

Explanation:

Add up all the costs

80+ 10+10+20 + 3.50x where x is the number of cupcakes

Combine like terms

120 + 3.5x

This must be less than or equal to 190

120 + 3.5x≤ 190
