If a gallon of orange juice is 3.50 you can buy
15÷ 3.50= 4.28 gallons
The max number is 4 

Answer:

The maximum number of container is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The cost of a gallon of orange juice is $3.50 what is the maximum number of contained you can buy for $15.

Let the number of container is x.

The cost of each gallon is $3.50.

So for x gallons you need to pay $3.50x

But the maximum money you can spend is $15.

Thus the required inequality is:

[tex]3.5x\leq 15[/tex]

Now solve the inequality as shown.

Divide both the sides by 3.5

[tex]x\leq \frac{15}{3.5}[/tex]

[tex]x\leq 4.286[/tex]

Hence the maximum number of container is 4.
