Question

Joe went shopping for holiday gifts for her family. She has a budget of $150. She has 15 people to purchase a gift for, but also would like to spend $30 on her self. Write and solve an inequality to determine the maximum amount she can spend on her family.

Answer 1

$150 (budget) - $30 (spend on herself) = $120 (left)

120 / 15 = $8

(150 - 30) divided by 15 = $8

Only $8 maximum can be spent on each family member
