Question

Zachary is planning to send a video game to each of his two brothers. If he buys the same game for both brothers and pays $2.75 to ship each game, how much can he spend on each game without spending more than $100? Enter and solve an inequality for this situation. Let v be the cost of one video game

Answer 1

Given that,

He buys the same game for both brothers and pays $2.75 to ship each game, how much can he spend on each game without spending more than $100.

We need to solve the inequality for this situation.

Let he spent $x on each of the video game. ATQ,

`2x+2* 2.75\le 100\\\\2x+5.5\le 100\\\\2x\le 100-5.5\\\\2x\le 94.5\\\\x\le \$47.25`

So, he can spend less than or equal to $47.25 on each game.
