The number of packs of paper Mr. Valentino can purchase with is budget of $25 is less than 15
<h3>How to write and solve an inequality to solve for the number of packs of paper Mr. Valentino can purchase?</h3>
The given parameters are
Cost of a pack of paper = $1.75
Budget = $25
Let the number of packs be x.
So, we have
Cost of a pack of paper * Number of packs <= Budget
The above inequality is true because the total amount spent cannot exceed the budget
Substitute the known values in the above inequality
1.75 * x <= 25
Divide both sides by 1.75
1.75/1.75 * x <= 25/3.75
Evaluate the quotient
x <= 25/1.75
Evaluate the quotient
x <= 14.29
Round up and rewrite the inequality at
x < 15
This means that the number of packs of paper Mr. Valentino can purchase with is budget of $25 is less than 15
See attachment for the inequality
The graph of the inequality uses a dashed line and the left part are shaded
Hence, the number of packs of paper Mr. Valentino can purchase with is budget of $25 is less than 15
