Total money Marcus has = $28
Money spent to buy a notebook = $3.75
Money left now = 
Money needed to be saved = $11.25
So, the amount of money Marcus can spend = 
Cost of a packet of chips = $1.30
The inequality to determine the maximum number of chips he can buy is:
Let the number of chips Marcus can buy = x
As he cannot spend more than $13 to buy chips so equation becomes:

Solving this we get

Hence, Marcus can buy a maximum of 10 packs of chips and save $11.25
The completed factor is (7x+2) (x+5)
Taking 2x is power of 3.
So it will be like 3^(2*1/2) + 1
You are replacing 'x' with 1/2
and the equation becomes 3^1+1
So, f(1/2) = 4
Answer is 4.
If its like
<span>3^(2x+1)
Then its like 3^[(2*1/2) +1]
It becomes 3^(1+1) = 3^2 = 9
So, the answer is 9

It should be 3,000
