Question

Mary has $250 to spend. She buys gift cards for $130. She will use the rest of the money to buy candy bars that cost $1. 50 each. Which inequality can be used to find the greatest number of candy bars she can buy with the rest of the money?

Answer 1

80

Explanation:

we will write an inequality of 1.50x + 130 =250

We subtract 130 from each side, so we have

1.50x=120

Now we divide by 1.50 on each side

X=80.
