Question

Perdita goes to the fruit market with $9 to buy avocadoes. Each avocado costs $2. Write and solve an inequality to find the greatest number of avocadoes Perdita can buy

Answer 1

Let x= number of avocadoes she can buy
let y= total cost

y= 2x 

9= 2x     9/2= 4.5
4.5= x
(you cannot cut the avocado in half therefore your answer is simply 4)
