Homework Help: 8th grade math for Ms. Sue please check

How is an inequality different from an equation? Give a real-world scenario in which you would write an inequality rather than an equation.

Daphne has $25. She wants to buy two new paint brushes for her art teacher. Daphne needs to know the average price so she doesn't spend more than $25.

2s < $25
2s÷2=$25÷2
s = $12.50

Is this a good example of a real life scenario where you would use an inequality rather than a equation?
