Courtney has $50 to spend at the county fair. She spends $10 on admission and $15 on snacks. The games at the fair cost $1.25 each. Which inequality could be used to find the maximum number of x games that Courtney can play while at the fair?

Respuesta :

$1.25x + $10 + $15 (less than or equal to) $50

Answer:

So, with the reaming 25 dollars she can play at max 20 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Amount Courtney has to spend = $ 50

Amount Spent on Admission = $ 10

Amount Spent on Snacks = $ 15

Price of a Game at Share = $ 1.25

Now, lets find the total amount spent by her already

Amount Spent = 50 - 10 - 15 = $ 25

Suppos x represent the number of games so, we can represent the remaining amount and in term of games that can be purchased by using it

[tex]1.25x\leq25[/tex]

the above inequality can be simplified as follows

[tex]x\leq\frac{25}{1.25}[/tex]

[tex]x\leq20[/tex]

So, with the reaming 25 dollars she can play at max 20 games.
