Question

a box of crayons costs $1.75, including tax. mr. valentino wants to purchase boxes of crayons for his class and has a $25 budget. write an inequality to solve for the number of boxes of crayons mr. valentino can purchase with his budget. a.$1.75x ≤ $25 b.$1.75x ≥ $25 c.$25x ≤ $1.75 d>$25x ≥ $1.75

Answer 1

The answer to this question is $1.75x ≤ $25

Answer 2

Answer:

a. $1.75x ≤ $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The cost of each box of crayons = $ 1.75,

So, the cost of x boxes of crayons = 1.75x dollars

If there is a budget of only $ 25,

So, the cost of x boxes of crayons ≤ $25

⇒  $1.75x ≤ $25

Which is the required inequality to solve for the number of boxes.

Option 'a' is correct.
