Question

Bill wants to purchase some gloves and hats. The gloves cost $12 and a hat costs $8. Bill can spend no more than $56. Let g represent the number of gloves purchased and h represent the number of hats purchased. Which inequality represents this situation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let g represent the number of gloves purchased and h represent the number of hats purchased.

The gloves cost $12 and a hat costs $8

We need to write an inequality that represents this situation.

Cost of gloves = $12g

Cost of hats = $8h

No more than $56 means
`\le 56`.

We can write the inequality as follows :

`12g+8h\le 56`

Hence, this is the required solution.
