Bob buys candy that costs $6 per pound. He will buy at most 8 pounds of candy. What are the possible amounts he will spend on candy?
Use c for the amount (in dollars) Bob will spend on candy.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.
Bob will spend at most $6 per pound of candy, and he will buy at most 8 pounds of candy. Therefore,
c ≤ 6 * 8
Simplifying,
c ≤ 48
Therefore, the possible amounts Bob will spend on candy range from $0 up to $48, inclusive.
