Question

Gumballs cost $0.50 each and jawbreakers cost 0.30 each bob has $3.00 to spend

Create an inequality that represents the number of gumballs and jawbreakers Bob can buy

Answer 1

a0.50 + b0.30 ≤ $3.00

Explanation:

From the question, we have:

Gumballs cost per unit = $0.50

Jawbreakers cost = $0.30

Total budget of Bob = $3.00

Let a represents the number of Gumballs Bob can buy.

Let b represents the number of jawbreakers Bob can buy.

Therefore, inequality that represents the number of gumballs and jawbreakers Bob can buy can be given as follows:

a0.50 + b0.30 ≤ $3.00

The inequality implies that total amount Bob can spend on both gumballs and jawbreakers can be less or equal to $3.00 but cannot be greater than $3.00.
