25*8.14=?
Multiply the cost of the book per person ($8.14) by the number of people (25).
Answer:
5.4 > x > 2.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of two sides is always greater than the third side
Case1 :
4.1 + 1.3 > x
5.4 > x
Case2:
4.1 + x > 1.3 or 1.3 + x > 4.1
x > 1.3 - 4.1 or x > 4.1 - 1.3
x > - 2.8 or x > 2.8
Note that it is obvious x is not -ve so neglect -2.8. x > 2.8
Hence,
5.4 > x > 2.8
