Question

Jenna has $50 to spend at a local craft fair. The entrance price for the fair is $10. At a pottery stand. Jenna finds cups that are $4.50 each. What is the maximum cups Jenna can buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5x+10<=50

4.5x<=50-10

4.5x<=40

x<=8.9

round down because can't go beyond 50

x=8 max

Answer 2

Answer:

8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

Let $c$ be amount of cups she can buy.

$10+4.5c=50$

Using this equation, we get:

$10+4.5c=50$

Subtract 10 from both sides

$4.5c=40$

Divide both sides by 4.5

$c$ ≈ $8.89$

Since she can only buy whole cups, the max she can buy is 8 cups.
