Question

HELP PLEASE :)
8.) Lindsey has $25 to spend on breakfast for a Girl Scout sleepover. She plans to buy boxes that cost $2.50 each and a carton of eggs for $3.98

Part A: Write an inequality to represent the # of possible boxes of cereal Lindsey can buy

Part B: Solve your inequality to find the MAXIMUM # of boxes of cereal Lindsey can buy

Answer 1

Let b=boxes   SO 25=b(2.50)+3.98  So she would be able to buy 8.4 total boxes.

Answer 2

let's b is the number of boxes of cereal Lindsey can buy
    (3.98 + 2.50)b = 25
            6.48 b      = 25
                   b        = 3.85
so Lindsey can buy 3.85 boxes of cereal
