Question

Cally

Answer 1

Answer:

$10.08+4.99x\leq 50$

$x\leq 8$

The maximum pounds of cheese that Ariana can buy is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the amount of cheese In pounds, that  Ariana can buy

we know that

The cost of 3 loaves of bread plus the cost of the cheese must be less than or equal to $50

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

$3(3.36)+4.99x\leq 50$

$10.08+4.99x\leq 50$

solve for x

subtract 10.08 both sides

$4.99x\leq 50-10.08$

$4.99x\leq 39.92$

divide by 4.99 both sides

$x\leq 8$

Therefore

The maximum pounds of cheese that Ariana can buy is 8
