least $18.25 to buy the scrapbook. Each sheet of paper costs $0.34. How many sheets
of paper can she buy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The inequality Jody can use to determine the number of sheets (s) of paper she can buy will be ...

18.25 + 0.34s ≤ 40

0.34s ≤ 21.75

s ≤ 21.75/0.34 ≈ 63.97

Jody can buy up to 63 sheets of paper.
