Question

Trisha has $100 to spend on presents for 4 of her friends. She wants to spend the same amount on each friend. How much money can she spend on each friend (x)?


*Choose the inequality that best matches this scenario.

a. 4+x ≤ 100

b. 4x ≤ 100

c. x ÷ 100 ≥ 4

d. 100 - x ≥ 4

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Trisha has $100. So she has to spend less than $100 or exactly 100 on her friends. The sign to represent this is ≤ ( the less than or equal to sign )

so if she has 4 friends and wants to spend x on each friend, she would spend a total of 4x on her 4 friends.

Remember that she has to spend less than or equal to $100. The equation to represent this is 4x ≤ 100
