Note: Remember to show all of the steps that you use to solve the problem.
You have $59.95 in your wallet and want to buy some new CDs. If the CDs are $11.99 each, what number of CDs, x, can you buy? Write and solve an inequality. (2 points)
*Step 1: Determine if it is less than (or equal to) or greater than (or equal to).
**Remember, you cannot spend more than $59.95.
*Step 2: Create an equation using the cost of a CD and ‘x’.
* p.s. please help me solve with answer
number of CD'S = x
total money in wallet = 59.95
here you can't spend more than 59.95
59.95 = 11.99 * x - (a)
x = 59.95/11.99
x = 5
so we can buy 5 CD's total ,
5 * 11.99 each = 59.95
so we can determine that it is equal to and the equation is (a)
you wont be able to copy and paste so i recommend you write this on a peice of paper
number of CD'S = x
total money in wallet = 59.95
here you can't spend more than 59.95
59.95 = 11.99 * x - (a)
x = 59.95/11.99
x = 5
so we can buy 5 CD's total ,
5 * 11.99 each = 59.95
so we can determine that it is equal to and the equation is (a).
thx
Thank you so much. I was soooo confused. <3
Your the best "An idiot"
what do i write?
To solve this problem, we need to set up an inequality to represent the scenario.
Step 1: Determine if it is less than (or equal to) or greater than (or equal to). Since you cannot spend more than $59.95, we need to set up a less than or equal to inequality.
Step 2: Create an equation using the cost of a CD and 'x'. The cost of a CD is $11.99, and we want to find the maximum number of CDs we can buy with $59.95. Let 'x' represent the number of CDs. Therefore, the equation becomes:
11.99x ≤ 59.95
Now, let's solve the inequality:
Divide both sides of the inequality by 11.99 to isolate 'x':
x ≤ 59.95 / 11.99
Simplifying the right side:
x ≤ 5
So, you can buy a maximum of 5 CDs with $59.95.
