Andrew is given a weekly allowance of $17.50 he uses $4.50 for lunch on Monday what amount at the most can he spend each day if he wants to spend the same amount each of the remaining 4 days write an inequality and solve
4 x ≤ 17.50 - 4.50
4 x ≤ 13
x ≤ 3.25
To find out how much Andrew can spend each day for the remaining 4 days, we need to subtract the amount spent on Monday from the total weekly allowance and divide the remaining amount by 4 (the number of remaining days).
Let's represent the amount he can spend each day for the remaining 4 days as "x".
The inequality can be written as:
4x ≤ 17.50 - 4.50
To solve the inequality, we'll perform the calculations step by step:
Step 1: Subtract the amount spent on Monday from the total weekly allowance.
17.50 - 4.50 = 13.00
Step 2: Divide the remaining amount by the number of remaining days.
13.00 / 4 = 3.25
Therefore, Andrew can spend at most $3.25 each day for the next 4 days if he wants to spend the same amount each day.
