Respuesta :

Andrew can buy maximum 3 meals this weekend.

From given question,

Andrew must spend less than 53$ on meals during the weekend.

He has already spent 21$ on meals costing 8$ average.

Let x, the number of meals

So, we get an inequality,

8x + 21 < 53

We need to find the number of meals he can buy this weekend.

From above inequality,

⇒ 8x + 21 < 53

⇒ 8x < 53 - 21

⇒ 8x < 32

⇒ x < 4

This means, from 1 to 3 meals.

Therefore, Andrew can buy maximum 3 meals this weekend.
