Trent and three friends are ordering a pizza. they play to split the cost and they want to spend at most 3.50 per person. Write and solve an inequality to find the cost of the pizza they should order
4 people at $3.50 each=$14.00
$3.50*4=$14.00
To solve this problem, we can let "x" be the cost of the pizza. Since Trent and his three friends want to spend at most $3.50 per person, the total cost of the pizza should be less than or equal to $3.50 multiplied by 4 (to account for all four people). So, the inequality representing the problem can be written as:
x ≤ 3.50 * 4
Now, you can solve this inequality by multiplying 3.50 by 4:
x ≤ 14
Therefore, the cost of the pizza should be less than or equal to $14.
