Question

At most, Kyle can spend $50 on sandwiches and chips for a picnic. He already bought chips for $6 and will buy sandwiches that cost $4.50 each. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many sandwiches he can buy.

Answer 1

Answer:

An inequality to determine how many sandwiches he can buy is $4.50x+6\leq 50$ and no. of sandwiches he bought is 9 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of sandwiches he can buy

Cost of 1 sandwich = $4.50

Cost of x sandwiches = 4.50x

He already bought chips for $6

At most, Kyle can spend $50 on sandwiches and chips for a picnic.

So, $4.50x+6\leq 50$

$4.50x \leq 50-6$

$4.50x \leq 44$

$x \leq \frac{44}{4.50}$

$x \leq 9.78$

Hence an inequality to determine how many sandwiches he can buy is $4.50x+6\leq 50$ and no. of sandwiches he bought is 9 .

Answer 2

Answer:

he can buy around nine sandwiches and he will have change

Step-by-step explanation:

50-6= 44

44/4.50= 9.77

to check answer

9 x 4.50= 40.5

he can buy 9 sandwiches
