Question

You have two dollars and 50 Cent the gumballs in the machine cost $.25 each right and solve an inequality represents the number of gumballs you can buy

Answer 1

The maximum number of gumballs you can buy is 10

Explanation:

Let

x ---->represents the number of gumballs you can buy

we know that

The number of gumballs you can buy multiplied by it cost must be less than or equal to $2.50 (two dollars and 50 cents)

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

`0.25x\leq 2.50`

solve for x

Divide both sides by 0.25

`x\leq 10`

therefore

The maximum number of gumballs you can buy is 10
