Question

Grace had $6 to buy a gallon of milk and some apples. The gallon of milk costs $3.59 and the apples cost $0.60 each. what inequality could she use to find out how many apples she can buy?

Answer 1

Explanation

Grace will buy one gallon of milk, that costs $3.59 and some apples - she doesn't know how many apples, so let's call the amount of apples 'x'. Each apple costs $0.60. Since Grace has $6 to buy all these things, the value of the gallon of milk plus the value of the apples must be at most $6.

In numbers, this means that $3.59 + $0.60 x must be equal or less than $6.

Answer

The inequality is:

$3.59+0.60x\le6$
