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.
I need to show every step. Is this way correct?
11.99x = 59.95
11.99x ÷ 11.99 = 59.95 ÷ 11.99
x = 5
You're supposed to solve an inequality. I don't know how to do that.
Okay. On my previous post, were the others correct?
12+23
Yes, your approach is correct. However, let me explain it step by step:
To find the number of CDs you can buy, you need to divide the total amount of money you have ($59.95) by the cost of each CD ($11.99). Let's define the number of CDs as x.
The equation representing this situation would be:
11.99x = 59.95
To solve for x, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Divide both sides of the equation by 11.99 to get:
11.99x ÷ 11.99 = 59.95 ÷ 11.99
On the left side, the 11.99's cancel out, leaving you with:
x = 59.95 ÷ 11.99
Simplifying the division on the right side gives you:
x = 5
Therefore, you can buy 5 CDs with $59.95.
