Question

Jamie bought a soda for $3. He also bought some corn dogs for $4 each. Jamie did not spend more than $27 on the corn dogs and the soda. Which inequality can be used to find h, the number of corn dogs that Jamie could have bought?
A) 4c + 3 ≤ 27
B) 4c − 3 ≤ 27
C) 4c + 3 ≥ 27
D) 4c − 3 ≥ 27

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Soda: +3

Corn dog: 4 dollars each = 4c

No more than which means the sign is "eating" the 27, because the combination of both corn dogs and soda was no more than 27.

Which comes out to answer A.

Answer 2

The inequality can be used to find $c$, the number of corn dogs that Jamie could have bought is $4c+3\leq 27$.

So, option A is correct.

Cost of soda $=$ $$3$.

Cost of corn dogs $=$ $$4$.

Let the number of corn dogs that Jamie could have bought be $c$.

So, amount spent $= 3+4 \times c$.

Jamie did not spend more than $$27$ on the corn dogs and the soda.

So, $3+4 \times c \leq 27$.

or $4c+3\leq 27$.

So, option A is correct.
