Lauren's mother gave Lauren $15.00 to buy some things at the store. Lauren has spent $12.79 and still needs to stop at the fruit stand to buy some grapes that are on sale for $0.89 per pound. Lauren uses the following inequality to determine how many pounds of grapes to buy. 0.89g + 12.79 < 15.00 Which could be the number of pounds of grapes that Lauren can purchase? Select all that apply,
2.45
2.5
2.49
2.4
2.39​

Answer 1

The number of pounds of grapes that can be purchased are 2.45, 2.4, 2.39.

The total amount Lauren's mother can spend has to be less than $15. This is why the inequality sign used is the less than sign - <.

Given this equation: 0.89g + 12.79 < 15.00 , in order to determine the pounds of grapes that can be used, take the following steps:

Combine similar terms

0.89g < 15 - 12.79

Add similar terms

0.89g < 2.21

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.89

g < 2.48g
