Question

Emily has $100 extra to spend on supplies for her T-shirt-making business. She wants to buy ink, /, which costs $8 a bottle, and new brushes, b, which are $18 each. Which inequality below represents this scenario?

A. 8i+1 8b ≥ 100
B. 18i+100 ≤ 8b
C. 8i+18b ≤ 100
D. 18i+8b ≤ 100

Answer 1

D: 18i + 8b ≤ 100

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct inequality that represents the scenario is option D: 18i + 8b ≤ 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break down the components of the inequality based on the given information:

8i represents the cost of ink bottles (i) at $8 each.

8b represents the cost of brushes (b) at $18 each.

18i + 8b represents the total cost of ink bottles and brushes combined.

The scenario states that Emily has $100 extra to spend, which means the total cost of ink bottles and brushes should be less than or equal to $100. Therefore, the correct inequality is 18i + 8b ≤ 100.
