During your class field trip, the teacher plans to stop at a local restaurant and has up to $180 to spend. Which inequality describes the most number of 8.99 meals she can purchase?
Let's assume that the teacher wants to purchase the maximum number of meals possible. Since the teacher has up to $180 to spend and each meal costs $8.99, the inequality that describes the most number of meals she can purchase is:
8.99x ≤ 180
Where x represents the number of meals.
