Question

Rory is at the local mall and her favorite type of jeggings are on sale. The jeggings are now priced at $7 per pair, tax free. She has $27 with her, but she needs to have $6 leftover to spend on a movie theater ticket.

Which inequality represents how many pairs of jeggings Rory can buy, where j represents the number of jeggings?

Answer 1

Answer:

j ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rory has $27 total. She needs a balance of $6 for her theater ticket.

27 - 6 = 21. This means she has $21 to spend on jeggings.

Each pair of jeggings cost, $7. 7 * 3 = 21 or 21/7 = 3. Therefor, Rory can buy less than 3 or 3 exact pairs of jeggings.

j stands for jeggings, j ≤ 3
