Answer:

166.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Aiden has $15.00 on his copy card.

Each time he uses the card to make a photocopy, $0.06 is deducted from his card.

Aiden wants to be sure that there will be at least $5.00 left on his card when he is finished.

To find :

What is the maximum number of copies Aiden can make?

Solution :

The inequality below relates x, the number of copies he can make, with his copy card balance.

$15 - 0.06x \geq 5$

$15 - 5 \geq 0.06x$

$10 \geq 0.06x$

$\frac{10}{0.06} \geq x$

$166.66\geq x$

Hence the maximum number of copies Aiden can make is 166.66
