Question

Jamal has $15.00 to spend at the concession stand. He buys nachos for $7.50, and he wants to purchase some sour straws for $1.50 each. How many sour straws can Jamal purchase with the money that he has?(solve with inequality/solve for x)

Answer 1

Answer:

I do not know

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5

$15.00 is the total amount of money Jamal has right? To find the remaining amount of money Jamal has subtract 15 - 7.5 (price of nachos) = 7.5 (remaining amount of money Jamal has.) Now for part 2, since the sour straws are $1.50 each you just have to multiply X to get close as close to the remaining amount of money as possible.

1.50× 5 (amount of sour straws) is equal to 7.50 (price of 5 sour straws).

To check your answer let's add the price of nachos (7.50) and 5 sour straws (7.50) which is 15.00 the total amount Jamal brought with him.
