Question

Market and More is having a cereal sale. Every box of cereal is $0.60 off the regular price.

Jane has $10 and she wants to buy 4 boxes of the same cereal. Solve the inequality below to determine the regular price of cereal that she can afford. 4(r - 0.6) ≤ 10, where r = regular price. Show your work.

Answer 1

Explanation:

4 (r - 0.6) ≤ 10

4r - 2.4 ≤ 10

4r - 2.4 + 2.4 ≤ 10 + 2.4

4r ≤ 12.4

4r/4 ≤ 12.4/4

r ≤ 3.10
