You’ve decided to start your own business and sell handmade toys. You found a supplier to make your toys.
A.Since you are just starting out, you can’t spend more than $150 to get the toys.
B.The supplier will charge you $11 to make each toy plus a one-time fee of $18 for shipping
Write an inequality that represents the fact that you can't exceed this spending limit. Use t to represent the number of toys.
11 t + 18 ≤ 150
To write an inequality that represents the spending limit, we need to consider the cost of each toy multiplied by the number of toys, as well as the one-time shipping fee.
Let's break down the costs involved:
- Cost per toy: $11
- One-time shipping fee: $18
The total cost will be the sum of the cost per toy multiplied by the number of toys and the one-time shipping fee. This should not exceed $150.
So, the inequality to represent this would be:
11t + 18 ≤ 150
Here, t represents the number of toys. The left side of the inequality calculates the total cost, which should be less than or equal to $150.
