Question

7.(2) You need to buy jars. They cost $14 per box, and you only have $150 to spend. How many

boxes can you buy at most? Write an inequality for the problem and solve it.

Answer 1

17 boxes

Explanation:

Let x be the number of boxes that you can buy.

14x = 150

x = 250 / 14 = 17.85

We cannot buy 0.85 of a box, so we can only buy 17 boxes.
