Gina is having a party and wants to spend less than $565. She has already spent $400. The only item left on her list is pizzas, which cost $15 each.
How many pizzas, x, can she purchase and stay under her budget? Select the inequality that includes the largest number of pizzas she can purchase and still stay under her budget.
A. x<38
B. x<11
C. x<27
D. x<150
To stay under her budget, Gina can spend a maximum of $565 - $400 = $165 on pizzas.
Since each pizza costs $15, the inequality that represents the largest number of pizzas she can purchase without exceeding her budget is:
x * $15 < $165
x < 11
So the correct answer is:
B. x<11
Gina can purchase a maximum of 10 pizzas to stay under her budget.
