Question

At a certain restaurant, milkshakes cost $4 and cheeseburgers cost $6. If Al buys 1 milkshake and x cheeseburgers and spends at least $30 but no more than $46,
what is one value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

5, 6 or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If Al spends $30, the number of cheeseburgers bought is:

$x=\frac{30-4}{6}\\x=4.3333$

Since $30 is the minimum value, he has to buy at least 5 cheeseburgers.

If Al spends $46, the number of cheeseburgers bought is:

$x=\frac{46-4}{6}\\x=7$

Therefore, Al bought between 5 and 7 cheeseburgers, which means that 5, 6 or 7 are possible values of x.
