Question

Raleigh went to a gaming arcade for his birthday. His parent gave him $55 to spend. He purchased $14.25 in food and drinks, and put the rest of the money on the gaming arcade. Each Game in the arcade cost $1.25. Write a linear inequality to represent how many games g Raleigh can play in the arcade

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let
`g` denotes number of games that Raleigh can play in the arcade.

Cost of 1 game = $1.25

Cost of
`g` games =
`\$1.25g`

Amount spent in food and drinks = $14.25

Total amount spent by Raleigh =
`14.25+1.25g`

Also, amount with Raleigh = $55

So, the inequality is
`14.25+1.25g\leq 55`

Divide the inequality by 5

`2.85+0.25g\leq 11`
`2.85+0.25g\leq 11`
