like to purchase a movie ticket and some candy. The ticket costs $7.25 and each box of candy costs $3.75. He claims he can buy 5 boxes. Do you agree or disagree? Write and solve the inequality to explain your reasoning

Respuesta :

I agree. From the calculation, the total amount spent is less than (<)the amount in his pocket, this means that Rashaj can buy 5 boxes of candy.

Inequalities are expressions that are not always equal to each other. The inequality signs are <, > ≤ and ≥

Given the following

Amount Rashaj has in his wallet = $37.25

Amount spent

A movie ticket = $7.25

5 boxes of candy at $3.75 per box = 5($3.75) = $18.75

Taking the sum of the total amount spent

Amount spent = $7.25 + $18.75

Amount spent = $26

Since the total amount spent is less than (<)the amount in his pocket, this means that Rashaj can buy 5 boxes of candy.
