Which inequality matches the situation? 12.95 + 4.95x < 75 12.95 + 4.95x Less-than-or-equal-to 75 12.95x + 4.95 Greater-than-or-equal-to 75 12.95x + 4.95 Less-than-or-equal-to 75

Answer 2

`12.95x + 4.95 \leq 75`

Explanation:

Given

Represent number of DVDs with x

`Each\ DVD = \$12.95`

`Handling\ Fee = \$4.95`

`Budget = \$75` (at most)

Required

Represent as an inequality

If
`Each\ DVD = \$12.95`

x DVD would cost:

`x\ DVDs = 12.95 * x`

`x\ DVDs = 12.95x`

So, to make an order of x DVDs, Deacon will pay for

x DVDs and Handling Fee

So:

`Payments = 12.95x + 4.95`

Recall that his budget is at most $75

This implies that:
`\leq 75`

So, the relationship between his payment and budget is:

`12.95x + 4.95 \leq 75`
