17) Rebecca bought one goldfish for $32. She spends the rest of her money on guppy fish. She
wants to spend no more than $80. Each guppy costs $6.
Part A: Write an inequality to represent the situation. Use g for the variable.
Part B: Solve the inequality.

The inequality would be 6g+32<80.
Solving the inequality will be g=8

The 6g stands for $6 per guppy and the +32 refers to the $32 she already spent. The < is there because she doesn’t want to spend any more then $80; however you need the line underneath (I can’t type in on my keyboard) which means less than or equal to $80.

In order to solve the inequality you have to subtract 32 from 80 and then divide by 6 which will give you 8.

Hope this helps!
