Ms. Sue- I have tried to answer this question. If I could answer it on my own, I would not be needing your assistance. Thank you. WHY ISN'T SOMEONE HELPING ME WITH THIS QUESTION?? you receive a $25 gift card card to a sporting goods store for your birthday. you are looking at skateboards and want to spend no more than $85 of your own money.
a. write and solve an inequality to find the prices(p)in dollars of skateboards you can buy
I'm not sure -- but this looks logical to me.
25 + 85 > p
Thank you Ms. Sue
You're welcome. I'm not sure about inequalities, so check it with your teacher,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble getting help with your question. I'm here to assist you, so I can help you with solving the inequality to find the prices of skateboards you can buy.
To find the prices of skateboards you can afford, we will need to set up and solve an inequality. In this case, we want the cost of the skateboard, plus your own money spent, to be less than or equal to $85.
Let's assign a variable, p, to represent the price of the skateboard. Since you have a $25 gift card, you can spend p dollars of your own money. The total amount spent will be the price of the skateboard (p) plus the $25 gift card, so we can write the inequality as:
p + 25 ≤ 85
Now, let's solve the inequality to find the range of prices (p) you can afford.
Subtract 25 from both sides of the inequality:
p ≤ 85 - 25
Simplifying, we have:
p ≤ 60
So the inequality suggests that the price of the skateboard (p) should be less than or equal to $60.
Therefore, you can buy skateboards that cost $60 or less, while not going over your $85 budget (which includes the $25 gift card).
I hope this helps you solve the question and find the range of skateboard prices you can afford. Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with!
