Question

Carolina goes to a paintball field that charges an entrance fee of \$18$18dollar sign, 18 and \$0.08$0.08dollar sign, 0, point, 08 per ball. The field has a promotion that says, "Get \$10$10dollar sign, 10 off if you spend \$75$75dollar sign, 75 or more!" Carolina wonders how many paintballs she needs to buy along with the entrance fee to get the promotion.

Answer 1

713 paint balls

Explanation:

The inequality equation for the above question is given as:

$18 + $0.08 × b ≥ 75

Where b = number of paint balls

$18 + 0.08b ≥ 75

0.08b ≥ 75 - 18

0.08b≥ 57

b ≥ 58/0.08

b ≥ 712.5

b≥ 713 paint balls

Hence, Carolina would need to buy 713 paintballs along with the entrance fee to get the promotion.
