Answer: They can order from 0 to 449 bars, but no more.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The school band is ordering health bars to sell for a fundraiser. The company that sells the bars charges $0.40 per bar plus $20.00 for shipping regardless of the size of the order. The band must spend less than $200.00 on bars for the fundraiser.
The inequality below relates x, the number of bars that could be ordered, with the shipping costs and their spending requirements.
To solve for x, subtract 20 on both sides, we get
Divide 0.40 on both sides, we get
......... → the number of bars that could be ordered, with the shipping costs and their spending requirements must less than 450.
Thus, they can order from 0 to 449 bars, but no more.
