Question

Bob wants to order some books from an online bookstore. Each book costs 16.50 and shipping for the entire order is a flat rate of 25.03. Bob can spend no more than 78.00

Answer 1

x ≤ 3.210

Bib can buy no more Than 3 books

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost per book = 16.50

Total shipping = 25.03

Total budgeted amount = 78

The number of books, x that can be ordered can be represented by the inequality :

16.50x + 25.03 ≤ 78

16.50x ≤ 78 - 25.03

16.50x ≤ 52.97

x ≤ 52.97 / 16.50

x ≤ 3.210

Bib can buy no more Than 3 books
