Meee : ( austin has $95 to spend on sporting goods. he wants to buy a soccer ball for $15 and spend the rest of the money on soccer shorts. each pair of soccer shorts costs $29. write an inequality that can be used to find s, the number of pairs of soccer shorts he can buy?

hello,

as   long as they add up to 180 its correct.

more i think

hope this !

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74
