Question

Carter has $105 to buy a cake and pizza for his cousin's birthday party. He knows he needs to set aside $25 for the cake, and the rest of the money he can spend on pizzas. Each pizza costs $9.25. How many pizzas can Carter afford to buy? Use the inequality 9.25x + 25 ≤ 105

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

Here, we want to use the inequality to know the number of pizza that can be bought

We simply proceed to solve the inequality recently and we have the following;

9.25x + 25 ≤ 105

9.25x ≤ 105-25

9.25x ≤ 80

x ≤ 80/9

x ≤ 8.65

Since we cannot have fractional pizzas, what he can afford is rather written as 8
