Movie ticket is 8.00, popcorn is 5.00, and drink is 3.00. I have 40.00 to spend. How many games can I play if each game is 2.50?
Translate into inequality and solve.
I did the last two for you. Now it's your turn.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
8 +5+3 + 2.5(G)= 40
16 +2.5G=40
-16 +2.5 G=24
G=24/2.5
I can play 9 games?
Yes!! 9 games!
To determine how many games you can play, you need to find the maximum number of games that can be played within your budget.
Let's assign a variable to represent the number of games you can play. Let's call it "g".
The cost of each game is $2.50, so the total cost of playing "g" games is 2.50 * g.
Considering your budget of $40.00, the inequality that represents this situation is:
2.50 * g ≤ 40.00
To solve this inequality for "g", divide both sides of the inequality by 2.50:
g ≤ 40.00 / 2.50
Simplifying the right side gives:
g ≤ 16
Therefore, you can play a maximum of 16 games within your budget.
