Octavia should buy less than 8 milkshakes.


Octavia should buy at least 8 small milkshakes.


Octavia should buy less than 12 milkshakes.


Octavia should buy at least 12 small milkshakes.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, Octavia should buy at least 12 small milkshakes. At $2.50 each small milkshake, buying 12 would be a total of $30. Since she needs to buy atleast 20 total milkshakes, she would need to buy 8 large milkshakes which at $6 each would cost her a total of $48. Together this would sum up to be $78 for the 20 milkshakes which would mean that Octavia is still under her budget.
