Question

Mark has n nickels and d dimes. He has at most 15 coins altogether. Write this situation as an inequality.

Answer 1

Answer:

$n\text{ + d}\leq15$

Explanation:

Amount of nickel Mark has = n nickels

Amount of dimes Mark has = d dimes

If he has at most 15 coins altogether, the inequality to repreent this situaltion is expressed as;

$n\text{ + d}\leq15$

Note that the AT MOST means the total coins cannot be greater than 15 hence the reason why we used the "less than and equal to sign"
