The inequality below represents x, the number of bags she can buy given the spending limit and how much she has already spent on streamers. 10 + 2.5 x less-than-or-equal-to 40 Which best describes the number of bags of balloons she can buy? She can buy from 0 to 12 bags, but no more. She can buy from 0 to 20 bags, but no more. She must buy 12 or more bags. She must buy 20 or more bags.

Answer 1

Answer:

The one that best describes the amount is 10.00 + 2.50 x 3

Step-by-step explanation:

10,00 + 2,50 = 12,50

12,50 x 1 = 12,50

12,50 x 2 = 25,00

12,50 x 3 = 37,50

12,50 x 4 = 50,00

Final result 12.50 x 3
