Question

Nick has $7.00. Bagels cost $0.75 each, and a small container of cream cheese cost $1.29. Write an inequality to find the number of bagels Nick can buy. Identify what your variable represents

Answer 1

if you buy 1 container of cream and an unknown number of bagels, x will represent the number of bagels you buy. 
1.29+0.75x<=7.00

I say less than or equal to because you cannot buy more than 7 dollars worth of things.
