A pack of paper costs $3.75 including tax. Mr. Cooper wants to purchase packs of paper for his class and has a $20 budget. Write an inequality to solve for the number of packs of paper Mr. Cooper can purchase with his budget. $3.75x ≥ $20 $3.75x ≤ $20 $20x ≤ $3.75 $20x ≥ $3.75 I think it is A

@jhonyy9

OpenStudy (summerloversm):

I'm pretty sure it would be B, this is because it would have to be less that or equal to 20 in order for Mr. Cooper to be able to afford it.

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

A does mean less than or equal to 20

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

B means more than or equal to 20

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

Otherworldy your opinion ? so when you have 20 dollars and you wan buying bycicle with 25 dollars can you buying it ?

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

no

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

looke please when Mr Cooper has a budget of 20 dollars so from how many dollars he can buying papers puckets ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

max. just for 20 dollars - yes ?

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

yeah

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so from these choices what you see that mean this above wrote case ?

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

A?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

1 paper pack cost 3,75 dollars x will cost not more than 20 dollars cross multiply and will get 3,75x >= 20*1 dollars

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes sure you are right with choice A do you understand it now sure ?

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

i got it wrong...... it makes no sense how did i get it wrong

OpenStudy (alexa02):

Would A not be saying 3.75x is greater that 20?, he would be going over the amount he has.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes alexa my bad otherworldy sorry - this is cleary that 3,75x not can being greater than 20 dollars

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

just smaller or equal

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

OpenStudy (otherworldly):
