Did you have any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation is simple

OpenStudy (igreen):

Each game costs .25 EACH, so we will have a variable there. The carnival admission is a ONE-TIME payment, so it does NOT have a variable. And if we have $10 we can only spend $10 or less than that. So what will our answer be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first you want toget something that is less than 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you have paid 3 and still have to pay for the game itself

OpenStudy (igreen):

@TIMDAVE Not quite, you can spend $10 too, so it's less than or EQUAL to.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess im getting there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b or a

OpenStudy (igreen):

It's less than or equal to..I just said :P So which one is it? B or A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since you have paid 3, its now 7 u have left , there fore u can use 0.25x=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No,...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and find x with this you should be able to solve they said not to write ans

OpenStudy (igreen):

A has a 'less than' sign \(<\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Not a less than or equal to sign.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is less than or equal to: \(\leq\), so what is your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I ment b

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, B is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thsts right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you all so much! you are all awesome
