Benito has $6 to spend a sundae cost $3.25 Plus $0.65 per topping write and solve an inequality find how many toppings can he order.
2.75/.65
3.25 + .65x <= 6
.65x<= 2.75
divide by .65 to get your answer.
To find out how many toppings Benito can order, we need to set up an inequality based on the given information.
Let's assume x represents the number of toppings. Each topping costs $0.65. The cost of the sundae without any toppings is $3.25. So the total cost of the sundae with x toppings would be:
3.25 + 0.65x
Benito has $6 to spend, so we want to find the maximum number of toppings he can order while still staying within his budget. This means the total cost of the sundae (3.25 + 0.65x) should be less than or equal to $6.
The inequality is:
3.25 + 0.65x ≤ 6
To solve this inequality, we can start by subtracting 3.25 from both sides to isolate 0.65x:
0.65x ≤ 6 - 3.25
0.65x ≤ 2.75
Next, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 0.65 to solve for x:
x ≤ 2.75 / 0.65
Calculating the division:
x ≤ 4.23 (rounded to two decimal places)
Since the number of toppings must be a whole number, Benito can order a maximum of 4 toppings to stay within his budget.
To solve this problem, we can set up an inequality equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the number of toppings Benito orders is represented by 'x'.
The cost of the sundae itself is $3.25. Since each topping costs $0.65, the cost of 'x' toppings would be 0.65x.
To find out how many toppings Benito can order, we need to determine the maximum number of 'x' that satisfies the inequality equation.
So, the inequality equation is: 3.25 + 0.65x ≤ 6
Now, we can solve this inequality equation step by step:
1. Subtract 3.25 from both sides of the equation:
0.65x ≤ 6 - 3.25
Simplifying:
0.65x ≤ 2.75
2. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.65:
x ≤ 2.75 / 0.65
Simplifying:
x ≤ 4.23 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, Benito can order a maximum of 4 toppings, as the number of toppings 'x' should be less than or equal to 4.
