Question

Lucia wants to buy some posters over the Internet. Each poster costs $6.67 and has a shipping cost of $9.99 per order. If Lucia wants to spend no more than $30 for her posters, which inequality shows the maximum number of posters, p, that she can buy?

Answer 1

Please help im new to openstudy

Answer 2

Let p be the number of posters Lucia will buy.

$6.67 * p + $9.99 < or = $30.00

Answer 3

Im not sure if I understand

Answer 4

would this be the answer
?
9.99 − 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 2

Answer 5

Would you post the options? That might help.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

9.99 − 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 2
9.99 + 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 3
9.99p + 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 4
9.99p − 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 5

Answer 8

I am thinking this:

$6.67 * p + $9.99 ≤ $30.00

Answer 9

These two cannot be correct because $9.99 is the shipping cost per order, not per poster:

9.99p + 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 4

9.99p − 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 5

Answer 10

The correct answer is one of these two:

9.99 − 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 2

9.99 + 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 3

Answer 11

would it be p< 3 ?

Answer 12

9.99 + 6.67p ≤ 30 where p ≤ 3 looks promising.

Let's check the other option.

Answer 13

9.99 − 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 2

Answer 14

this is confusing me

Answer 15

9.99 − 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 2

That option subtracts the cost of the posters from the shipping fee. I don't see how that could be correct.

Answer 16

This is the correct equation:

9.99 + 6.67p ≤ 30

What confuses me is the stuff added about p.

Answer 17

so I think B. is correct

Answer 18

I think this is correct:

9.99 + 6.67p ≤ 30, so p ≤ 3

It is the only one where the inequality makes sense.
