Question

The school band is ordering health bars to sell for a fundraiser. The company that sells the bars charges $0.40 per bar plus $20.00 for shipping regardless of the size of the order. The band must spend less than $200.00 on bars for the fundraiser. The inequality below relates x, the number of bars that could be ordered, with the shipping costs and their spending requirements.
0.40 x + 20 less-than 200

Which best describes the number of bars the band can order?
They can order from 0 to 449 bars, but no more.
They can order from 0 to 450 bars, but no more.
Their order must contain 451 bars or more.
Their order must contain 452 bars or more.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

just think it through :

0.4x + 20 < 200

0.4x < 180

x < 180/0.4 = 450

so, x < 450

they must order less than 450 bars.

therefore, the first answer option is correct :

they can order from 0 to 449 bars, but no more.
