Question

Samantha wants to use her savings of $1,150 to buy shirts and watches for her family. The total price of the shirts she bought was $84. The watches cost $99 each. Choose the inequality that would be used to solve for the maximum number of watches Samantha can buy with her savings.

99 + 84x ≤ 1,150
99x + 84 ≥ 1,150
99x + 84 ≤ 1,150
99 + 84x ≥ 1,150

Answer 1

well, the question says we need to find the maximum number of watches she can buy, and we know they are each 99 each. We already know the shirts cost 84 all together. this would eliminate the two options that have a variable next to the 84.

do you follow?

Answer 2

lol nvm payton, shadow gotchu

Answer 3

The total money she spent must be equal to or less than $1,150

So we now it's going to be:

_________ ≤ 1,150

She spent $84 on shirts, so we can write

____ + 84 ≤ 1,150

The last part is just the price of the watches times the number of watches. Since the # of watches is unknown, we put a variable in place of it, say...x.

Answer 4

Rewrote, I used the wrong sign lol

Answer 5

thats why i got confused

Answer 6

the signs are what throw me off

Answer 7

so a or c

Answer 8

a < b means a is less than b.

a > b means a is greater than b.

The sign under just means 'or equal to'

Answer 9

The post I made gives you enough information to deduce which.

Answer 10

The sign under just means 'or equal to'
that part i know

Answer 11

a

Answer 12

She spent $84 on shirts, then bought watches. We don't know how many watches just that they cost $99 each. So we do 99x as the problem is asking us how many watches could she have bought.

Answer 13

c

Answer 14

Answer 15

yes thanks
