Marcus is buying 10 gift bags for his birthday party. He will choose items to put in the bags and then pay an additional charge of $0.75 for the actual bag. Marcus cannot spend more than $50. Write and solve an inequality to find the most Marcus can spend on the items for each bag.

Respuesta :

10*0.75 + 10*x [tex] \leq [/tex] 50
This is how our inequality looks where x represents items cost per bag.

10*x [tex] \leq [/tex] 42.5

x [tex] \leq [/tex] 4.25.

Marcus can spend $4.25 at most per bag.
The money he spent on buying bags we can calculate right away because we know how much one bag costs and how many bags he bought.
