Question

Cody wants to attend the fall festival at school. The price of admission to the festival is $5.50 and each game costs an additional 75 cents if cody has $15.00 to spend at the festival, which inequality can be used to solve for g, the number of games that he can play and what is the maximum number of games he can play

Answer 1

Answer:

Cody can play maximum number of  12 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cody has $15.00 to spend at the festival.

Admission fees of the festival = $5.50

Each game costs = $0.75

5.50 + 0.75g ≤ 15

5.50 + 0.75g < 15.00

-5.50                -5.50

           0.75g <   9.50

           ÷0.75    ÷0.75

                    g < 12.66

Cody can play maximum number of  12 games.

Now we calculate the actual amount spent by Cody.

5.50 + 0.75g ≤ 15

5.50 + 0.75(12) ≤ 15

5.50 + 9.00 ≤ 15

14.50 ≤ 15

Cody can play 12 games and he spent total $14.50.

Answer 2

Cody can play up to 12 games.
