Question

3) Michael is getting dinner for his drama club on the evening of their final rehearsal.

Answer 1

Answer:

5.5p + 5 ≤ 60

10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The maximum total cost he can spend is $60.

5.5 * p + 2 * 2.5 ≤ 60

Simplify.

5.5p + 5 ≤ 60

b) Solve 5.5p + 5 ≤ 60

Subtract 5 from both sides

5.5p ≤ 55

Divide both sides by 5.5

p ≤ 10

So, the maximum he can buy is 10 pounds of food
