Answer 1

b is the cost of one bagel.

The cost of 6 bagels is 6*b.

The cost of cheese is $4.60

Walt spent more than $11.50

@sisigirl02

How do you think we could write this information as an inequality?

Answer 2

The inequality is 6b> 11.50
6b > 11.50 - 4.60
then b > 6.9 / 6
so the answer is b > 1.15

Answer 3

I got the inequality to be:

6*b + 4.60 > 11.50

6*b > 6.90

b > $1.15

so I got what you did.
