Question

Cara has $25 to buy dry pet food and treats for the animal shelter. A pound of dog food costs $2 and treats are $1 apiece. If she buys 9 pounds of dog food, what is the greatest number of treats she can buy? Write an inequality for the situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

18 +1* t ≤25

Step-by-step explanation:

It must be less than or equal to 25

2*9 is the cost of the dog food since she is buying 9 pounds at 2 dollars a pound  or 18 dollars

The cost is 18 +1* t where t is the number of treats  since each treat is 1 dollar

18 +1* t ≤25
