Question

Jessica is making a beaded bracelet. The elastic string costs 24 cents and each bead costs 82 cents. Jessica's budget for making the bracelet is $7.50. Which inequality shows the number of beads, b, that Jessica can purchase?

Answer 1

b ≤ 8.85365

Explanation:

string cost + bead cost(number of beads) less than or equal to budget

0.24 + 0.82b ≤ 7.50

0.82b ≤ 7.26

b ≤ 8.85365
