Question

PetPantry.com charges $15 for shipping on orders less than $90. Orders greater than $90 have a greater shipping fee. Travis wants to buy a new bed that costs $45 for this dog, Rusty. Travis also wants to buy several packages of dog treats for $6 each but does not want to pay more than the $15 shipping fee. Write and solve an inequality that describes the possible number of dog treats Travis can purchase and still remain in the $15 shipping category. Explain how you determined your inequality.
Graph the solution set on a number line and interpret the answer by picking several values that make sense.

Answer 1

Answer: Travis can buy 48 bags

Step-by-step explanation: I knew that each bag equaled 6 dollars so i multiplied 6 times 8 so that i can get 48 knowing that the bed was 45$ and Travis wanted to stay in the 15$ shipping category i added 48 + 45 and that totaled up to 93$ which is over 90$ and he wouldn't have to pay for the shipping and he gets his money worth.
