Answer:
The greatest number of bracelets she can buy is 63.
Step-by-step explanation:
12 + 0.60x ≤ 50
- Since we already have the inequality, we have to start picking random numbers(until there are no more solutions):
1.) 12 + 0.60(63) ≤ 50
12 + 37.8 ≤ 50
49.8 ≤ 50
Since 49.8 ≤ 50 is always true, there are infinitely many solutions.
- Now we know that she can buy 63 bracelets, we have to figure out if she can buy more:
2.) 12 + 0.60(64) ≤ 50
12 + 38.4 ≤ 50
50.4 ≤ 50
Since 50.4 ≤ 50 is false, there is no solution.
