Question

Medals Given and I will fan.
Walt bought 6 bagels and a tub of cream cheese for his family. The cream cheese cost 4 dollars and sixty cents. Altogether, Walt spent more than eleven dollars and fifty cents.

a. Let b represent the price of each bagel. Write a two-step inequality you could use to find b.
b. Solve the inequality you wrote in part a. Show all the steps.
c. Interpret the solution. What does the solution mean?

Answer 1

4.60 + 6b > 11.50 --- subtract 4.60 from each side
6b > 11.50 - 4.60
6b > 6.90
b > 6.90/6
b > 1.15

Bagels cost more then $1.15 per bagel.
