Question

The school dance club has a budget of $125 to decorate the gym for the winter dance. They have already spent $65 and they plan to buy paper snowflakes that cost $0.80 each. Write and solve an inequality to find the number of paper snowflakes the dance club could buy.​

Answer 1

75≥x

Explanation:

So, if x is the amount of snowflakes, then 125 ≥ 65 + 0.8x

Then subtract 65 from both sides to get 60 ≥ 0.8x

Divide both sides by 0.8 (multiply by 10/8) to get 75≥x
