Question

HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!Aditi has $50.00 in her wallet. She buys a shirt for $12.00 and also wants to buy some bracelets that are on sale for $0.60 each. The inequality below relates x, the number of bracelets she can buy, with her shirt purchase and the money in her wallet.
12 + 0.60 x less-than-or-equal-to 50

What is the greatest number of bracelets she could buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

did the test on edge

Answer 2

Answer:

The greatest number of bracelets she can buy is 63.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 + 0.60x ≤ 50

• Since we already have the inequality, we have to start picking random numbers(until there are no more solutions):

1.) 12 + 0.60(63) ≤ 50

12 + 37.8 ≤ 50

49.8 ≤ 50

Since 49.8 ≤ 50 is always true, there are infinitely many solutions.

• Now we know that she can buy 63 bracelets, we have to figure out if she can buy more:

2.) 12 + 0.60(64) ≤ 50

12 + 38.4 ≤ 50

50.4 ≤ 50

Since 50.4 ≤ 50 is false, there is no solution.
