Question

Vikram and four of his friends are planning to split a pizza. They want to spend at most $4 per person. write and solve an inequality to find the maximum cost of the pizza they can order. How do i set it up?

Answer 1

There's five kids in total, and they won't spend more than four dollars each.
4 x 5 is 20. They don't wanna spend more than $20 in total.

So the actually cost of the pizza has to be $20 or less.

Let x be the amount that each kid actually pays.


`5x \leq 20`
