24. Critical Thinking Anika wants to determine the maximum

number of tulip bulbs (t) she can purchase if each bulb costs $1.50.

She will also need to purchase separate pots for each bulb at $1.25

each and a bag of potting soil for $10.00. Set up an inequality to

determine how many tulip bulbs Anika can purchase without

spending more than $20.00, and solve it. Can Anika buy exactly

enough bulbs and pots to spend the full $20.00? Explain. Can you

think of a better inequality to describe the answer?

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Cost per bulb = $1.50

Cost per pot = $1.25

Bag of potting soil = $10.00

Budgeted amount to spend ≤ 20

Cost :

Bag of potting soil + (Cost per bulb + cost per pot)*number of tulip bulbs ≤ 20

$10 + ($1.50 + $1.25)t ≤ $20

$10 + 2.75t ≤ 20

$2.75t ≤ $20 - $10

$2.75t ≤ $10

t ≤ $10/$2.75

t ≤ 3.636

Hence, t = maximum number of tulip bulbs she can purchase is 3.636,

Since the exact number of tulip bulb she can purchase is a decimal which is impossible in an actual scenario. Hence, In other to spend not more than $20.00

t ≤ 3
