Olivia visited a stationery shop to buy journals.
She had $36 allocated for the purchase.
Olivia bought 4 journals.
Following the purchase, Olivia had less than $12 remaining.
What is the solution set for x, representing the cost of each journal?
Let x be the cost of each journal.
The total cost of the 4 journals is 4x.
We know that 4x + 12 ≤ 36.
Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get 4x ≤ 24.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get x ≤ 6.
The solution set for x is x ≤ 6.
