Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Benjamin decides to treat himself to breakfast at his favorite restaurant. He orders chocolate milk that costs $3.25. Then, he wants to buy as many pancakes as he can, but he wants his bill to be at most $30 before tax. The restaurant only sells pancakes in stacks of 4 pancakes for $5.50 . Let S represent the number of stacks of pancakes that Benjamin buys. What is the largest number of pancakes that Benjamin can afford?

Given:

Cost of chocolate milk = $3.25

Maximum bill that Benjamin wants before tax = $30

Cost of stack of 4 pancakes = $5.50

Let S be the number of stacks of pancakes that Benjamin buys

Solution:

Cost per stack of pancakes = $5.50  

Cost of S number of stacks of pancakes = S*5.50  = 5.50 S

So benjamin will spend money on 1 chocolate milk and S number of stacks of pancakes

Compute the total money spent by Benjamin:

Cost of chocolate milk + cost per stack of pancakes = 3.25 + 5.50 S

Maximum bill that Benjamin wants is $30 So,

The total money should be less than equal to the maximum bill that benjamin wants i.e. less than or equal to 30. So it is represented as:

3.25 + 5.50S ≤ 30  ----- (1)

Now using (1) we can find the largest number of pancakes that  Benjamin can afford :

3.25 + 5.50S ≤ 30

5.50S ≤ 30 - 3.25    

subtract 3.25 from 30

5.50S ≤ 26.75

Divide by 5.50

S ≤ 4.863636

S ≤ 4.86

S≤ 4 approx

Since the restaurant only sells pancakes in stacks of 4 pancakes so,

4 stacks = 4 *4 =  16

So the largest number of pancakes that Benjamin can afford are 16.

If we do not round off the the value stacks then we get:

4.86 stacks = 4.86 *4 =  19.44 pancakes

So the largest number of pancakes that Benjamin can afford are 19

Complete the following equation using <, >, or = 120% ___ 1
kvasek [131]
To solve these types of problems, we need to convert the two values into the same form.  

We know that 1 = 1.00, as adding zeroes to the end of a decimal doesn't change the value.

To change a decimal into a percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100 and add a percent sign.  

1.00 * 100 = 100%

Therefore, 1 = 100%

Because 120% is greater than 100%, thus, 

120% > 1
