Question

Samantha wants to use her savings of $1,150 to buy shirts and watches for her family. The total price of the shirts she bought was $84. The watches cost $99 each. Choose the inequality that would be used to solve for the maximum number of watches Samantha can buy with her savings.
A.99 + 84x ≤ 1,150
B. 99x + 84 ≥ 1,150
C.99x + 84 ≤ 1,150
D.99 + 84x ≥ 1,150

Answer 1

It would be C because each of the watch cost 99 dollars which is 99x + 84, she only has 1150 and she can’t buy anything over that amount of money. So it would be <=

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

It would be C because you don’t know how many watches so there is a variable, x. Then the price has to be less then or equal to because the amount is the most she can use so it can’t be greater.
