Anika wants to determine the maximum number of tulip bulbs (t) she can purchase if each bulb costs $1.50. she will also need to purchase separate pots for each bulb at $1.25 each and a bag of potting soil for $10. set up an inequality to determine how many tulip bulbs anika can purchase without spending more than $20, and solve it. can anika by exactly enough bulbs in pots to spend the full $20 explain can you think of a better inequality to describe the answer

The correct inequality is:

1.50T + 1.25T + 10 ≤ 20

The correct solution is:

T ≤ 3; no, she cannot spend the entire $20.

Explanation:

T is the number of tulip bulbs she buys. Each bulb costs $1.50; this gives the expression 1.50T.

She will buy the same number of pots as bulbs, since she needs a pot for each bulb. Each pot is $1.25; this gives the expression 1.25T.

Adding the $10 for potting soil to this, we have 1.50T+1.25T+10. She can spend no more than $20; this means she can spend less than or equal to 20. This gives us the inequality:

1.50T+1.25T+10 ≤ 20

To solve this, first combine like terms:

2.75T + 10 ≤ 20

Subtract 10 from each side:

2.75T+10-10 ≤ 20-10

2.75T ≤ 10

Divide each side by 2.75:

2.75T/2.75 ≤ 10/2.75

T ≤ 3.64

She cannot buy a partial bulb or pot, so the answer is then T ≤ 3. If she buys the same number of pots as she does bulbs, there is no way she can spend the entire $20.

from the sentence, "tomorrow morning, akiko will arrive an hour late" depicts a third person perspective because it doesn't use any pronoun to replace akiko, the subject of the sentence, and it is in singular form since akiko is only one person.
