3. How many ice creams can the girls buy if they only want to spend $10 on ice cream? Write and solve an inequality for this situation

Answer 1

Answer:

$40 / x ; $10 / y

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)

For the question, the number of girls aren't given ;

Assume the number of girls = x

The total amount they agreed to spend between themselves = $40

Amount spent on average :

Total amout to be spent / number of girls

Amount spent on average by each girl = $40 / x

2.)

The cost of ice cream isnt given;

Assume, cost per ice cream $y

Amount to be spent on on ice-cream = $10

Number of ice creams that can be purchased :

Amount to be spent on ice-cream / cost per ice cream

$10 / y
