Give a real-world scenario in which you would write an inequality rather than an equation.

Question

I was thinking, Jack has to bring at least $25 to a carnival. So the inequality would be x ≥ 25?
or could you help me with a different example?

Answer 1

I came up with a different example,
Jack wants to buy 4 pumpkins, but he needs to know how much the pumpkins cost so he doesn't spend more than $25.
4p ≤ 25
4p/2 ≤ 25/4
p=6.25
p ≤ $6.25

is this right?

Answer 2

both are good examples
