You and two friends are making a gift basket. you want to keep the cost below $15 per person. write and solve an inequality that represents the total cost of the gift basket.

If there are three friends, each spending under $15, then combined, they must spend less than 3*$15=$45.  Therefore, if x is the cost of the gift basket, in dollars, we see that x < 45.
