Question

if my friend and i went to get ice cream, I have $30 and each ice cream is $5. What equation would help me solve this?

Answer 1

`5x\leq30`

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of ice cream

we know that

`5x\leq30`

Solve for x

Divide by 5 both sides

`x\leq30/5`

`x\leq 6\ ice\ cream`

therefore

The maximum number of ice cream is 6
