Question

At the end of the day, vegetables at Farm Market sell for $2.00 a pound, and a basket costs $3.50. If Charlene wants to buy a basket and spend no more than $10.00 total, how many pounds of vegetables can she buy?

Answer 1

let x represent the number of pounds of vegetables.

so the equations is 
2x + 3.50 < 10
so solve for x 

2x < 10-3.50
2x < 6.50
x < 3.25
she could buy 3.25 lbs and spend no more than 10 dollars

Answer 2

The total pounds of vegetables can Charlene buy is 3.25 pounds and this can be determined by forming the inequality.

Given :

• At the end of the day, vegetables at Farm Market sell for $2.00 a pound, and a basket costs $3.50.
• If Charlene wants to buy a basket and spend no more than $10.00 total.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total pounds of vegetables can Charlene buy:

Step 1 - Form the inequality in order to determine the total pounds of vegetables can Charlene buy.

Step 2 - Let the total pounds of vegetables can Charlene buy be 'x'.

Step 3 - So, the inequality that represents the given situation is:

$2x + 3.5\leq 10$

Step 4 - SImplify the above inequality in order to determine the value of 'x'.

$2x\leq 6.5$

$x \leq 3.25$

So, the total pounds of vegetables can Charlene buy is 3.25 pounds.
