Ling must spend no more than $40.00 on decorations for a party. she has spent $10.00 on streamers and wants to buy bags of balloons as well. each bag of balloons costs $2.50. the inequality below represents x, the number of bags she can buy given the spending limit and how much she has already spent on streamers. 10+2.5x_< 40 which best describes the number of bags of balloons she can buy? a. she can buy from 0 to 12 bags, but no more. b. she can buy from 0 to 20 bags, but no more. c. she must buy 12 or more bags. d. she must buy 20 or more bags.

Option A is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Ling must spend no more than $40.00 on decorations for a party. She has spent $10.00 on streamers and wants to buy bags of balloons as well. Each bag of balloons costs $2.50.

The inequality represents x, the number of bags she can buy given the spending limit and how much she has already spent on streamers.

Let us solve for x by subtracting 10 from both sides of our inequality.

Now we will divide both sides of our inequality by 2.5.

Therefore, Ling can buy from 0 to 12 bags, but no more and option A is the correct choice.
