Answer:

I buy 4 food items and 7 non-food items from the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

The food items in the store are sold at $3 each and the non-food items are sold at $3 plus 5% tax.

So, the cost of each non-food items will be 3(1 + \frac{5}{100}) = 3.15 dollars.

If we consider that I buy 1 food item, then I buy $(34.05 - 3) = $31.05 of non-food items which is not a multiple of $3.15.

If I buy 2 food items, then I buy $(31.05 - 3) = $28.05 of non-food items which is again not a multiple of $3.15.

If we consider that I buy 3 food items, then I buy $(28.05 - 3) = $25.05 of non-food items which is again not a multiple of $3.15.

If I buy 4 food items, then I but $(25.05 - 3) = $22.05 of non-food items which is finally a multiple of $3.15 as (3.15 × 7) = 22.05.

Therefore, I buy 4 food items and 7 non-food items from the store. (Answer)

Shaneen has $30 to spend on CDs that each cost $10. She wants to calculate n, the number of CDs she can buy with her $30. Which
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

10n \le 30

n \le 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = \$30

Cost (each) = \$10

Required

Determine the inequality

Assume she wants to buy n CDs.

If 1 CD costs $10, then n CDs costs 10n.

So, the inequality is:

10n \le 30

<em>We used </em>\le<em> because the amount she wants to spend cannot exceed 30</em>

Divide both sides by 10, to solve for n

n \le 3
