Question

It takes typically $27 to fill up your tank up with gas. You have allotted no more than $108 on gasoline for your trip. A) Write and B) solve an inequality to find out how many times you will get to fill up your tank up witj gas.

Answer 1

A) 27x ≤ 108
B) x ≤ 4

Explanation
Let x be the number of times you can fill up.  It takes $27 each time, so this gives us 27x.  We are budgeting no more than $108 on gas, so this means our inequality will be "less than or equal to":
27x ≤ 108

To solve this, we divide both sides by 27:
27x/27 ≤ 108/27
x ≤ 4
