We are given : Cost of a gallon of milk = $2.50.
Cost of a cup of yogurt = $1.20.
Total money Monica has = $20.
Number of cups of yogurt Monica can buy = x.
And inequality made is also correct
1.20x + 2.5 ≤ 20.
Now, we need to solve it for x.
Subtracting 2.5 from both sides, we get
1.20x + 2.5 -2.5 ≤ 20 - 2.5.
1.20x ≤ 17.5
Dividing both sides by 1.20, we get
1.20x/1.20 ≤ 17.5/1.20.
x ≤ 14.5833...
Because it's less than 15, so final answer is : 14 is greatest number of cups of yogurt Monica can buy.
Semi monthly means 2 times per month
assume that pay is at beginning and middle of month (doesn't matter, but makes it easier for me)
so 12 months
2 times per month
12 times 2=24
divide 55000 by number of months
55,000/24=2291.67
so the amount per paycheck, assuming equally distributed amounts throughout the paychecks, is $2291.67
