Question

Sheila is going to the arcade with only 15 dollars to spend. The cost of each game is 75 cents and the price of admission into the arcade is 5 dollars. Which inequality can be used to solve for g, the number of games that she can play, and what is the maximum number of games she can play?

A - 5g + 0.75 <_ 15, 13 games
B - 0.75g + 5 <_ 15, 14 games
C - 0.75g + 5 <_ 15, 13 games
D - 5g + 0.75 <_ 15, 14 games

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

It is 75 cents a game plus 5 dollars admission. You should automatically subtract 5 dollars for admissions. That would give you ten dollars. You would just multiply how many games by how much they cost.

(You can also find the number of games first, and then solve the two inequalities that match that number backwards)

Hope this helps :)
