Question

A coffee shop charges $2.50 for each cup of coffee and $1.50 for a cupcake. Your mom gives you $10 and ask you to buy 5 cupcakes. State an inequality and find the maximum cup of coffee you can buy.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{10-7.50}{2.50}$$\geq$c

1 cup of coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say c = coffee

5 cupcakes would cost 5*1.50 = 7.50

We can make an inequality :

$\frac{10-7.50}{2.50}$$\geq$c

Now we can solve the inequality

10 - 7.50 = 2.50

2.50/2.50 = 1

The maximum cup of coffee you can buy is 1

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

you can buy only 1 cup of coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

uhhh $1.50 multiply by 5 is $7.50

and $7.50 + $2.50 is $10
