Question

Eli wants to purchase some new school supplies. He wants to buy a calculator that costs $24 and some notebooks for school. Each notebook costs $2. Eli only has $37 to spend.

Let n represent the number of notebooks that Eli buys.
Which inequality describes this scenario?
(1 point)
• 37п < 2n + 24
• 2n + 24 ≥ 37
0 24n+2≤37
0 37≤ 2m+24
02n+24≤37

Answer 1

The inequality that describes this scenario is: 2n + 24 ≤ 37. This is because Eli wants to buy some notebooks for school, and each notebook costs $2. Eli only has $37 to spend, so the total cost of the notebooks and calculator must be less than or equal to $37.
