Question

William has $7.50 to spend at the pretzel shop. A large pretzel costs $1.25 and a soft drink costs $0.90. He buys one drink and p pretzels. Which inequality can be used to find the number of pretzels William can buy?

1.25p−0.9≤7.5

1.25p+0.9≤7.5

1.25p+0.9≥7.5

1.25+0.9p≤7.5

Answer 1

the answer is B

Explanation:

the reason is because 1.25 x the amount of pretzels he wants plus his price of his one drink will be less than or equal to the amount of money he has

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

Cost of p pretzels = 1.25 * p = $ 1.25p

cost of p pretzels and cost of a soft drink should be less than or equal to $7.50

1.25p + 0.90 ≤ 7.50
