Question

A commercial laundry charges $5.25 per load. You have $31.50. Write and solve an inequality to find the greatest number of loads of laundry you can do. A. 5.25w ≤ 31.5; w ≤ 26.25 B. w ≤ 31.5 − 5.25; w ≤ 26.25 C. 5.25w ≤ 31.5; w ≤ 6 D. 5.25 + w ≤ 31.5; w ≤ 6

Answer 1

Charges per load = $5.25

Total money = $31.50

As the situation says that charges are 5.25 and one has a total money of 31.50 so lets suppose the total load one has be 'w'

so equation becomes:

$5.25w\leq31.50$

solving it we get, $w\leq6$

So, option C is the correct answer.
