Question

A grocery store offers a 15% discount on your entire purchase when you spend more than $60. You have $85 to spend on groceries and the cost of the groceries in your cart is currently $60. The inequality 0.85(a+60)≤85 represents the cost a (in dollars) of groceries that you can add to your cart. Graph the solution of the inequality.

Answer 1

0.85(a + 60) ≤ 85

0.85a + 51 ≤ 85

-51 on both sides

0.85a ≤ 34

/0.85 on both sides

a ≤ 40

Answer:

a ≤ 40
