Hi there!
Inequality:
25 - 0.75x <= 13
Since x is the amount of MP3 downloads he can buy and each CD costs 0.75 dollars, and since the total price spent needs to be less than 13 dollars and the total amount of money he has is 25 dollars, this is the answer.
Hope this helps!
What exactly are we trying to work out here?
Answer:
Let x = the number of lbs of Type A coffee.
We know that this month's blend used 3 times as many pounds of type B coffee as type A coffee.
Total lbs of coffee = x + 3x
The total cost then is:
($ cost for Type A)(x) + ($ cost for Type B)(3x) = $717.60
$5.65x + $4.25(3x) = $717.60
$5.65x + $12.75x = $717.60
$18.40x = $717.60
x = 39 lbs
