Question

Han has a budget of $25 to buy grapes. Write inequalities to represent the number of pounds of grapes that Han could buy in each situation: Grapes cost $2.49 per pound.

Answer 1

Budget: $25

Price per pound: $2.49

We know that the total price can not exceed the budget. Then:

Total_cost ≤ Budget

If Han buys x pounds of grapes, the total cost is:

Total_cost = (Price per pound)*(Number of pounds) = ($2.49)*(x)

Finally, the inequality of the situation is:

$\begin{gathered} 2.49x\leq25 \\ x\leq\frac{2500}{249} \end{gathered}$
