Georgia has at most $100 to spend at the outlet mall. She wants to buy a swimsuit for $60 and spend the rest on earrings. Each pair of earrings cost $10.75.
Which inequality can be used to determine the maximum number of pairs of earrings Georgia can buy?
A. 60 – 10.75x 100
B. 60 + 10.75x 100
C. 60 – 10.75x 100
D. 60 + 10.75x 100

Let's first find out how much money Georgia has left after buying the swimsuit:
$100 - $60 = $40
This means she has $40 to spend on earrings. Let x be the maximum number of pairs of earrings she can buy. Each pair of earrings costs $10.75, so in total, she spends:
$10.75x
This must be less than or equal to the $40 she has to spend:
$10.75x ≤ $40
Dividing both sides by $10.75 gives:
x ≤ 3.72
Since Georgia can't buy a fraction of an earring, we round down to the nearest whole number:
x ≤ 3
Therefore, the correct inequality to determine the maximum number of pairs of earrings Georgia can buy is:
10.75x ≤ 40
And the answer is not given in the options.

I apologize for my mistake. The correct inequality to determine the maximum number of pairs of earrings Georgia can buy is:
10.75x ≤ 40
Dividing both sides by 10.75:
x ≤ 3.72
Since you cannot buy a fraction of an earring, we need to round down to the nearest whole number:
x ≤ 3
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) 10.75x ≤ 40.
10.75x ≤ 40
Dividing both sides by 10.75:
x ≤ 3.72
Since you cannot buy a fraction of an earring, we need to round down to the nearest whole number:
x ≤ 3
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) 10.75x ≤ 40.

I apologize, I misunderstood the options. The correct answer is (C) 60 + 10.75x ≤ 100.
Georgia has $100 to spend and she bought a swimsuit for $60. Therefore, she has $40 left to spend on earrings.
Let x be the number of pairs of earrings she buys, each costing $10.75, and the total cost of earrings is 10.75x.
So the total amount spent can be represented as 60 + 10.75x, and this must be less than or equal to the amount she has to spend, which is $100.
Therefore, the inequality that can be used to determine the maximum number of pairs of earrings Georgia can buy is:
60 + 10.75x ≤ 100.
Hence, the answer is (C) 60 + 10.75x ≤ 100.
