Question

Which inequality can be used to represent this problem? (HELP ASAP, IM TIMED)

Answer 1

Propane costs $3.50 per hundred pounds,

and there is a $6 monthly delivery fee.  

A family has budgeted $85 for their propane this month.

Let  'x' hundreds of pounds can the family use without going over budget

Here family has budgeted $85 for their propane.

So the cost for Propane  = $ 3.5x

One month delivery fee $6

Therefore cost + delivery charge not exceed $85

So 3.5x + 6 ≤ 85

3.5x=85-6 =79

x = 22.57

Therefore 22 hundreds of pounds can the family use without going over budget
