Alonzo buys candy that costs $4 per pound. He will buy at least 7 pounds of candy. What are the possible amounts he will spend on candy?
Use c for the amount (in dollars) Alonzo will spend on candy.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for .
The amount Alonzo will spend on candy can be found by multiplying the cost per pound by the number of pounds: c = $4 * p, where p is the number of pounds of candy Alonzo buys.
Since he will buy at least 7 pounds, we can write the inequality p >= 7.
Substituting the value of p into the equation, we have c = $4 * 7 = $<<4*7=28>>28.
Therefore, Alonzo will spend at least $28 on candy.
The amount Alonzo will spend on candy, denoted as c, can be determined by multiplying the cost per pound, $4, by the minimum weight Alonzo will buy, 7 pounds. Therefore, we have:
c >= 4 * 7
c >= 28
Therefore, Alonzo will spend at least $28 on candy.
To find the possible amounts that Alonzo will spend on candy, we need to multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds.
Let's assume that Alonzo will spend c dollars on candy.
Since the candy costs $4 per pound, and Alonzo will buy at least 7 pounds, we can express the total amount spent on candy as 4 pounds multiplied by the number of pounds, which is 4 × 7 = 28 dollars.
So, the possible amounts that Alonzo will spend on candy can be represented by the inequality c ≥ 28. This means that the amount Alonzo will spend on candy must be greater than or equal to $28.
