Question

Nick has $7. Bagels cost $.75 each, and a small container of cream cheese costs $1.29. Write and inequality to find the numbers of bagels Nick can buy.

Answer 1

0.75b + 1.29c ≤ 7

b=number of bagels he buys
c=number of small containers of cream cheese that he buy

it has to be ≤ 7 because be can buy exactly $7 or he can buy less but he does not have enough money to buy more.
