Question

Neva has a gift certificate to a home goods retail store that is worth $35. She wants to use the gift certificate to purchase some picture frames that cost $7.25. Write an inequality that can be solved to find the total number of picture frames she can buy. Let p represent the number of picture frames.

Answer 1

`7.25p \le 35`

Explanation:

p = number of picture frames

Each picture frame costs $7.25, so p picture frames cost p * 7.25, or 7.25p.

She has $35, so the total cost must be less than or equal to $35.

`7.25p \le 35`
