Respuesta :

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5x+10<=50

4.5x<=50-10

4.5x<=40

x<=8.9

round down because can't go beyond 50

x=8 max

Answer:

8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

Let [tex]c[/tex] be amount of cups she can buy.

[tex]10+4.5c=50[/tex]

Using this equation, we get:

[tex]10+4.5c=50[/tex]

Subtract 10 from both sides

[tex]4.5c=40[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4.5

[tex]c[/tex] ≈ [tex]8.89[/tex]

Since she can only buy whole cups, the max she can buy is 8 cups.
