Question

Create an inequality to represent this problem . solve a graph the inequality on the number line below .Bahjo doesn't remember how much she spent at the store but she knows it was less thank $2.99. what is the maximum price that the candy bars could have cost her?

Answer 1

Let x be the amount that Bahjo spent at the store. Assuming she bought at least the candy bars, since she know that she didn't spend more than 2.99, then that means that x is less than 2.98. So we get

$x<2.99$

This means that

$x\le2.98$

So at most the candy bars could have cost 2.98
