Sam was at the store buying snacks. He wanted one $2 pop. The candy was 0.50 cents each. If he can only spend less then $10, write an inequality to represent how much candy Sam can buy.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • 0.5x + 2 < 10

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the number of candy is x.
  • Each candy costs $0.5
  • Sam spends  $2
  • Total amount less than $10

The inequality will be:

  • 0.5x + 2 < 10

If we solve it, we get:

  • 0.5x < 8
  • x < 16
