Question

you have $18 to buy peppers. peppers cost $1.50 each. write and solve an inequality that represents the number of peppers you can buy​

Answer 1

At most 12 peppers can be bought with $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total amount for peppers = $18

Cost per pepper = $1.50

Let p be the number of peppers that can be bought from $18 at $1.50 per pepper

So,

$1.50p\leq 18$

Dividing both sides by 1.50

$\frac{1.50p}{1.50}\leq \frac{18}{1.50}\\p\leq 12$

Hence,

At most 12 peppers can be bought with $18
