Question

A pack of paper costs $3.75 including tax. Mr. Cooper wants to purchase packs of paper for his class and has a $20 budget. Write an inequality to solve for the number of packs of paper Mr. Cooper can purchase with his budget.
$3.75x ≥ $20

$3.75x ≤ $20

$20x ≤ $3.75

$20x ≥ $3.75

Answer 1

If a pack of paper costs 3.75 including tax, and there is a $20 budget, then the equation to find out the answer would be 3.75p is greater or equal to $20. So the answer would be B. 3.75 would be multiplied by the tax and then applied up to $20.
