helpppppppp

danjs · Answer

Total Money in Account  = Skateboard + Stationary + 3.07*(Ice Creams n)

danjs · Answer

Total Money = 95
Skateboard = 42
Stationary = 12.99
Ice Cream = 3.07*n , Where n is the number of ice creams. 

Put into the equation and solve.

danjs · Answer

95 = 42 + 12.99 + 3.07*n

n = (Round down to closest whole number) of ice creams

why are the question marks still there

danjs · Answer

reload page, it happens when you paste things

danjs · Answer

$$95 \le 42 + 12.99 + 3.07*n$$

anonymous · Answer

that is not one of the answer that is why I am confused

danjs · Answer

right, that is the equation that the question describes. You need to isolate n, solve for n is less than or equal too......

danjs · Answer

$$95 \ge 54.99 + 3.07n$$
$$95 - 54.99 \ge 3.07n$$
$$40.01 \ge 3.07n$$

$$\frac{ 40.01 }{ 3.07 } \ge n$$
$$n \le 13$$

danjs · Answer

she can buy up to 13 ice creams and still have enough money for the skateboard
