Omar has a gift card for $40.00 at a gift shop. Omar wants to buy a hat for himself for $13.50. For his friends, he would like to buy souvenir bracelets, which are $3.25 each. All prices include taxes.
Which inequality can be used to solve for how many bracelets Omar can buy?
Let's say Omar wants to buy "x" bracelets for his friends.
Since each bracelet costs $3.25 and he wants to buy "x" bracelets, the total cost of the bracelets for his friends would be 3.25x dollars.
We can set up the inequality as:
3.25x ≤ 40.00
This inequality represents that the cost of the bracelets can't exceed $40.00, which is the amount of money Omar has on his gift card.
