Answer:

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

He can buy up to 14 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money ≥number of peppermints * cost per peppermint + number of sour candies * cost per sour candy

We know he has 5 dollars.  He bought 5 peppermints at $.15 cents each and x sour candies at $.25 each

Substituting in

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

5≥1.35 + .25x

Subtract 1.35 on each side

5-1.35 ≥ 1.35-1.35+.25x

3.65≥.25x

Divide by .25 on each side

3.65/.25 ≥ .25x/.25

14.6 ≥ x

He can buy up to 14 candies.  You can't buy part of a candy

the value of a share of stock decreases in value at a rate of $1.20 per hour during the first 3.5 hours of trading. write and so
kvv77 [185]

Well since I don't know what the original value I'll label it as X. So your equation will start out as X - (1.20 x 1) which would be for every hour for a half hour just divide 1.20 / 2 to get your half an hour. (1.20 x 3) + 0.60. Should be easy if they want it in faction form than it would just be 1.20 x 3 1/2.

Hope this helps
