Answer:
3.5p ≤ 40
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality that best describes this problem is 3.5p ≤ 40;
Given parameters:
Total amount with me = $40
Cost per package of hot dog = $3.5
Unknown;
The inequality that represents the problem = ?
Solution:
p is the number of hotdogs that can be bought.
So, total hotdog that can be bought if each hotdog cost $3.5 per box is;
p x 3.5
Now,
this will equal the total amount at hand;
p x 3.5 ≤ 40
3.5p ≤ 40
Let x = 0.71428571428...
1000000x = 714285.714285...
x(1000000 - 1) = 714285
999999x = 714285
x = 714285/999999
