Question

Problem solving with inequalities

Answer 1

Option D:

15c ≤ 200

Solution:

Let c be the number of cases of tea bags.

Cost of each tea bag = 15 gold coins

Total gold coins Mad have = 200

Set up an inequality:

Cost of c tea bags = 15 × c = 15c

Mad can buy tea bags at most 200 gold coins.

(At most 200 means 200 is the greater value)

15 × c ≤ 200

15c ≤ 200

Hence option D is the correct answer.
