Answer 1

Answer:

Solution to the inequality is x=1 or x=2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Janelle is at the movie theater and has $20 to spend.  She spends $8 on a ticket and wants to buy some snacks. Each snack costs $4.99.  

Inequality: $20\geq 8 + 4.99x$

To find : How many snacks, x, can Janelle buy?

Solution :

To find number of snacks, we have to solve the given inequality

Taking, $20= 8 + 4.99x$

$12=4.99x$

$x=\frac{4.99}{12}$      

$x=2.40$      

Since, The snacks purchased should be integer form.

and Number of snacks is between $0<x<2.40$  

In the given options only 1 and 2 satisfy the condition.

Therefore, The solution of the given inequality or value of x is 1 and 2.
