Question

Charlie wants to order lunch for his friends. He'll order 6 sandwiches and a $3 kid's meal for his little brother. Charlie has $27. How much can he spend on each sandwich if they are all the same price? Which inequality equation models this situation best?

6x + 3 ≥ 27
or
6x + 3 ≤ 27

Answer 1

6x + 3 ≤ 27

Explanation:

Charlie has a maximum amount of $27, meaning he can only spend up to that amount or less.
