Question

Monica has $20. She needs to buy a gallon of milk that costs $2.50. She also wants to buy yogurt, which costs $1.20 a cup. What is the greatest number of cups of yogurt Monica can buy?

Answer 1

Answer: The greatest number of cups of yogurt MOnica can buy is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

If she  need to buy a gallon of milk then it means that $2.50  will be deducted from the money .  

Use the the inequality to solve for how many cups of yogurt Monica can buy

1.20x + 2.50 ≤ 20

             -2.50   2.50

1.20x ≤ 17.5

x≤14.5833...  

which means the greatest number of  cups of yogurt Monica can buy is 14.
