8
Because 16 ounces is a pound half of 16 is 8, 8 ounces is half a pound. :)
The solution of the given inequality is:
x ≤ 15.24
<h3>
How to solve the inequality?</h3>
We know that the maximum that she can spend on gasoline is the 12% of $400.
That is:
(12%/100%)*$400 = 0.12*$400 = $48
Now, we know that each gallon of gas costs $3.15, then if x is the number of gallons of gas that she buys, we have the inequality:
x*$3.15 ≤ $48
To solve the inequality, we need to divide both sides by $3.15
x ≤ $48/$3.15
x ≤ 15.24
So the maximum number of gallons of gasoline that she can buy is 15 gallons (actually a little more).
