(03.05 MC) Ben has $19 to spend. He spent $7.25, including tax, to buy a notebook. He needs to save $2.75 but he wants to buy a snack. If pretzels cost $0.50 per package including tax, what inequality would show the maximum number of packages that Ben can buy? Solve your inequality by showing your work and steps.
(Please explain it to me, im so confused)

18 ≥ p

Step-by-step explanation:

$19 - 7.25 = $11.75

Ben has $11.75 left in his wallet.  He needs to save $2.75.

$11.75 - $2.75 = 9

$9.00 ÷ $0.50 = 18

Ben can buy 18 packages, or less = 18 ≥ p

11.75 - .50x has to be > or = to 2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

first you subtract 7.25 from 19 which gives you 11.75. then you put .50x to show how packages you are going to buy. then since he wants so save 2.75 you put greater than or equal to 2.75

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.

hi there!

the answer will be d: 2
