Question

Jerome saved $50 to go the County Fair this weekend. Admission and food costs $25. Tickets for the rides cost $6 per ticket booklet. Jerome used the following inequality to determine the number of ticket booklets he would be able to buy.

$25 + $6x ≤ $50

What is the maximum number of ticket booklets Jerome can buy?

Answer 1

\[$25 + $6x ≤ $50\]
\[$6x ≤ $50-$25 i.e\]
\[$6x ≤ $25\]
\[x ≤ $25/$6\]
\[x ≤ 4.\]
