Question

Sam was at the store buying snacks. He wanted one $2 pop. The candy was 0.50 cents each. If he can only spend less then $10, write an inequality to represent how much candy Sam can buy.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 0.5x + 2 < 10

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the number of candy is x.
• Each candy costs $0.5
• Sam spends  $2
• Total amount less than $10

The inequality will be:

• 0.5x + 2 < 10

If we solve it, we get:

• 0.5x < 8
• x < 16
