Question

Omar has a gift card for $40.00 at a gift shop. Omar wants to buy a hat for himself for $13.50. For his friends, he would like to buy souvenir bracelets, which are $3.25 each. All prices include taxes.
Which inequality can be used to solve for how many bracelets Omar can buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

He can buy 8 bracelets.

Step-by-step explanation:

$40.00 - $13.50 = 26.50 (40.0 - 13.5 = 26.5)

$26.50 * 8 = .5

WHAT I DID WAS I SUBTRACTED 13.50 FROM 40.00 THEN I KEPT DIVIDED A NUMBER TILL I COULDNT ANY MORE THIS WAS THEY SIMPLIEST WAY I COULD THINK OF THAT WOULDNT CONFUSE YOU IF YOU WANT A MORE MATHMATICAL WAY OF DOING THIS LET ME KNOW AND I CAN GET IT TO YOU.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!

Answer 2

Answer:

i) 3.25x ≤ 26.50

ii) Omar can buy 8 bracelets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Omar has a gift card for $40.00.

Omar bought a hat for $13.50

The remaining amount he has = $40.00 - $13.50 = $26.50

He would like to buy souvenir bracelets for his friends.

Each cost = $3.25

Let "x" be the number of bracelets can buy.

3.25x ≤ 26.50

Now we have to solve the inequality.

Dividing both sides by 3.25, we get

$\frac{3.25x}{3.25} \leq \frac{26.50}{3.25}$

x ≤ 8.15

The bracelets cannot be in decimal form.

So we have to round off to nearest whole number.

x ≤ 8

Therefore, Omar can buy 8 bracelets.
