Question

Leo held a garage sale. He priced all the items at either a dime or a quarter. His sales totaled less than $5. Which linear inequality would describe the situation?
10d + 25q < 5
0.10d + 0.25q > 5
10d + 25q < 500
10d + 0.25q > 500

Answer 1

Say he had 10 dimes and 4 quarters... how many dollars would he have?

Answer 2

2

Answer 3

ithink not sure bout american currency

Answer 4

You're right. Now look at the left half of the equations above. if d=10, and q=4, which one of them would =2?

Answer 5

none?

Answer 6

a

Answer 7

?? the 1st??

Answer 8

No, sorry. I'm explaining poorly.

Answer 9

yes, make it easy:1 dime=10 cents, 1 quarter=25cents, so 1st one

Answer 10

i think its b

Answer 11

Essaim, you're right.
Love math, you aren't.

Answer 12

why

Answer 13

His sales totaled less than $5

Answer 14

yes, less

Answer 15

Because dimes and quarters are 10 CENTS and 25 CENTS, but the right side of the equation is in DOLLARS.

Answer 16

Actually... we're both wrong, sorry.

Answer 17

Because you're right, it is less than (<) so it has to be A or C.
But because dimes aren't worth 10 dollars, the answer is C.

Answer 18

so its c??

Answer 19

it cant be c, c is 500

Answer 20

Yes. It is calculated in cents. 10cents*dimes + 25cents*quarters = 500cents. (which is the same as $5)

Answer 21

so I am right?

Answer 22

but 25*.25 is $6.50

Answer 23

25*.25=6.25

Answer 24

Let me try to clarify. Leo gets 25cents for each quarter, and 10cents for each dime. At the end of the day he has less than 500cents ($5).

Answer 25

In mathematical notation, you'd write that as:
10d + 25q < 500
So C is the answer.
