Question

Corey went to the fair. he brought $15 with him. the entrance ticket was $4. each fried ticket cost him $1.25. type and solve an inequality to determine how many ride tickets he can purchase.

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the given information

Amount with Corey = $15

Entrance ticket = $4

Each fried ticket = $1.25

$\begin{gathered} 15-4\ge\text{1}.25x \\ 11\ge1.25x \\ \frac{11}{1.25}\ge\frac{1.25x}{1.25} \\ 8.8\ge x \\ x\le8.8 \\ x\le8 \end{gathered}$

Corey can purchase 8 tickets (there's no such thing as 0.8 ticket)
