You have $59.95 in your wallet and want to buy some new CDs. If the CDs are $11.99 each, what number of CDs, x, can you buy? Write and solve an inequality.
Let x represent the number of CDs you can buy.
The total cost of x CDs can be represented as 11.99x.
We want to find the maximum number of CDs you can buy without exceeding $59.95, so we can write the inequality:
11.99x ≤ 59.95
To solve for x, divide both sides by 11.99:
x ≤ 59.95 / 11.99
x ≤ 5
Therefore, you can buy a maximum of 5 CDs with $59.95 in your wallet.
