Question

Aiden has $15.00 on his copy card. Each time he uses the card to make a photocopy, $0.06 is deducted from his card. Aiden wants to be sure that there will be at least $5.00 left on his card when he is finished. The inequality below relates x, the number of copies he can make, with his copy card balance. 15 minus 0.06 x greater-than-or-equal-to 5

Answer 1

166

Explanation:

Since 166.66 isn't an option, the answer is 166

Answer 2

166.66

Explanation:

According to the question

Given that

Dollars on his copy card = $15.00

Deducted amount = $0.06

At least left amount = $5

Based on the above information

The maximum no of copiers that he makes is

15 - 0.06x ≥ 5

15 - 5 ≥ 0.06x

10≥ 0.06x

10 ÷ 0.06 ≥ x

166.66 ≥ x

hence, the maximum no of copiers that he makes is 166.66
