Question

The maximum you can spend on a desk and chair is $345. The chair costs $78. How much can you spend on the desk? Write and solve an inequality.

Answer 1

Let the cost of the desk be represented by the variable 'd'.

The total amount you can spend on the desk and chair is $345. So, we can write the equation:

d + 78 <= 345

Subtracting 78 from both sides gives:

d <= 267

Therefore, the maximum amount you can spend on the desk is $267.
