Question

Sue Ling gave her dad a $50 gift certificate. He plans to buy a $12 book on home repair

and as many drill bits as he can for $1.79 each. Choose the inequality that shows x, the
number of drill bits he can buy.
I

Answer 1

12 + 1.79(x) ≤ 50

Number of drill bits = 21

Explanation:

Given:

Total amount = $50

Amount of book = $12

Price of each bit = $1.79

Find:

Number of drill bits

Computation:

Assume, Number of drill bits = x

So,

12 + 1.79(x) ≤ 50

1.79(x) ≤ 38

x ≤ 21.220

Number of drill bits = 21
