Question

I NEED ASAP!!! PLEASE. Mom Nick has 7.00$. Bagels cost 0.75$ each and a small container of cream cheese is 1.29$. Write an inequality to find the number of bagels nick can buy. Identify what your variable represents

Answer 1

The inequality to find the number of bagels nick can buy is $0.75b + 1.29 \leq 7$ where "b' is the number of bangles he can buy

Solution:

Given that Nick has 7.00$

Bagels cost 0.75$ each and a small container of cream cheese is 1.29$

To find: inequality that represents the number of bangles nick can buy

Let "b" represent the number of bangles he can buy

Given that small container of cream cheese is 1.29$. Assuming that one small container of cream cheese is $ 1.29

Cost of 1 bangle = $ 0.75

Then, cost of "b" bangles = $ 0.75b

The inequality is framed as:

cost of "b" bangles + cost of 1 container of cream cheese must be less than or equal to 7.00

Here "less than or equal to " is used because the amount he spends must be less than or equal to 7

$0.75b + 1.29 \leq 7$

Thus the inequality is found

On solving,

$0.75b + 1.29 \leq 7\\\\0.75b\leq 5.71\\\\b\leq 7.61$

So the number of bangles he can buy is $b \leq 7$
