Question

2.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part a) $22.95+0.43x \leq 25$

Part b) The maximum number of candy bars that you can purchase is 4

Part c) The change would be $\ 0.33$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write an equation representing your shopping experience and use x for the number of candy bars

Let

x -----> the number of candy bars

we know that

The inequality that represent this problem is equal to

$2(3.50)+2(2.75)+10.45+0.43x \leq 25$

$22.95+0.43x \leq 25$

Part b) Solve the equation to determine how many candy bars can you purchase?

$22.95+0.43x \leq 25$

Solve for x

Subtract 22.95 both sides

$0.43x \leq 25-22.95$

$0.43x \leq 2.05$

Divide by 0.43 both sides

$x \leq 2.05/0.43$

$x \leq 4.8$

The maximum number of candy bars that you can purchase is 4

Part c) How much change would you have left?

If you purchase 4 candy bars

then

$22.95+0.43(4)=\ 24.67$

therefore

$\ 25-\ 24.67=\ 0.33$
