WHY ISN'T SOMEONE HELPING ME WITH THIS QUESTION?? you receive a $25 gift card card to a sporting goods store for your birthday. you are looking at skateboards and want to spend no more than $85 of your own money.
a. write and solve an inequality to find the prices(p)in dollars of skateboards you can buy
Maybe we're waiting for you to attempt to answer this question.
To solve this problem, we need to use an inequality to represent the condition "you want to spend no more than $85 of your own money."
Let's assign a variable to represent the price of a skateboard: let p be the price in dollars.
The inequality we can write to represent the problem is:
p + 25 ≤ 85
Explanation:
In this inequality, p represents the price of the skateboard you want to buy using your own money. We add 25 to p because you also have a $25 gift card.
Now, let's solve the inequality to find the prices (p) in dollars of skateboards you can buy.
p + 25 ≤ 85
Subtract 25 from both sides of the inequality:
p ≤ 85 - 25
Simplifying:
p ≤ 60
Therefore, the prices (p) in dollars of the skateboards you can buy are less than or equal to $60.
