Question

Jasmine wants to use her savings of $1,128 to buy video games and movies. The total price of the movies she bought was $72. The video games cost $43 each. Choose the inequality that would be used to solve for the maximum number of video games Jasmine can buy with her savings. 43 + 72x ≤ 1,128 43 + 72x ≥ 1,128 43x + 72 ≥ 1,128 43x + 72 ≤ 1,128

Answer 1

The maximum number of video games Jasmine can buy with her savings is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum number of video games Jasmine can buy with her savings, we need to set up an inequality. Since the video games cost $43 each, the total cost of the video games can be represented as 43x, where x is the number of video games. Jasmine's savings of $1,128 can be represented as 1128. So, the inequality becomes:

43x + 72 ≤ 1128

To solve for x, we can subtract 72 from both sides of the inequality:

43x ≤ 1056

Finally, divide both sides of the inequality by 43:

x ≤ 24

Therefore, the maximum number of video games Jasmine can buy with her savings is 24.
