Answer:
t ≤ 3 ; kindly check explanation for more explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Number of tulip (t) =?
Cost of bulb = $1.50
Pot for each bulb purchased at =$1.25
Bag of potting soil = $10.00
Number of tulip bulb that can be purchased without spending more than $20
Cost of tulip bulb = [(cost per bulb + cost per pot) * number purchased (t) + cost of bag of potting soil]
Cost = [(1.50 + 1.25)t + 10]
If spending should not exceed $20
2.75t + 10 ≤ 20
2.75t ≤ 20 - 10
2.75t ≤ 10
t ≤ 10/2.75
t ≤ 3.64
He cannot purchase more than 3 tulip bulbs
Anika cannot buy exactly enough tulip bulbs an pot to spend the full $20 because the number obtained is a fraction and not a whole number.
