Answer:
The number of balloons Raj could buy is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Raj has a $25 budget to spend on decorations for a party.
He has already spent $18.60.
He wants to get some helium balloons that’s cost $0.80 each.
Now, to write and solve an inequality to show the number of balloons Raj could buy.
Let the number of balloons be [tex]x.[/tex]
Cost of each balloons = $0.80.
So, the total cost of balloons = [tex]0.80x.[/tex]
He already spent = $18.60.
Total budget Raj has = $25.
Now, to solve an inequality to show the number of balloons:
[tex]0.80x+18.60\leq 25[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by 18.60 we get:
[tex]0.80x\leq 6.40[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.80 we get:
[tex]x\leq 8.[/tex]
Therefore, the number of balloons Raj could buy is 8.
