Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Cost per bulb = $1.50
Cost per pot = $1.25
Bag of potting soil = $10.00
Budgeted amount to spend ≤ 20
Cost :
Bag of potting soil + (Cost per bulb + cost per pot)*number of tulip bulbs ≤ 20
$10 + ($1.50 + $1.25)t ≤ $20
$10 + 2.75t ≤ 20
$2.75t ≤ $20 - $10
$2.75t ≤ $10
t ≤ $10/$2.75
t ≤ 3.636
Hence, t = maximum number of tulip bulbs she can purchase is 3.636,
Since the exact number of tulip bulb she can purchase is a decimal which is impossible in an actual scenario. Hence, In other to spend not more than $20.00
t ≤ 3
