Question

renata and her family go through an average of more than 15 cans of sparkling water each day. they buy cases of 24 cans at $3.50 case. write an equality for the number of cases they go through in 30 days

Answer 1

a-19

b-66.50

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given is :

Let the total number of sparkling cans of water used in a day be =x

As mentioned, the family uses more than 15 cans each day so inequality becomes ,
`x>15`

As they buy cases of water with 24 cans in each case. So less than 1 case is used in a day.

Number of cans used in a day is more than 15, so approx number of cans used in 30 days will be =
`30*15=450`

As each case contains 24 cans, so the number of cases that will contain 450 cans will be,
`(450)/(24)=18.75` cases. Rounding this off to nearest whole number, we get 19 cases.

Hence, the family buys around 19 cases of sparkling water in 30 days.
