During your class field trip, the teacher plans to stop at a local restaurant and has up to $180 to spend. Which inequality describes the most number of Combo B meals she can purchase?

Let's call the number of Combo B meals the teacher can purchase "x". Since we want to find the most number of Combo B meals the teacher can purchase, we want to maximize the value of "x".

The cost of each Combo B meal is not given, so let's call the cost of each Combo B meal "y".

The total cost of the Combo B meals the teacher wants to purchase is then x*y.

The teacher has up to $180 to spend, so the total cost of the Combo B meals must be less than or equal to $180.

Therefore, the inequality that describes the most number of Combo B meals the teacher can purchase is:

x*y ≤ 180
During your class field trip, the teacher plans to stop at a local restaurant and has up to $180 to spend. Which inequality describes the most number of Combo B meals she can purchase?
Combo A- $9.99
Combo B- $8.99
Combo C- $9.99
Combo D- $7.99
In order to determine the most number of Combo B meals the teacher can purchase, we need to find the maximum value of 'x' in the inequality x * 8.99 ≤ 180.

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 8.99, we have x ≤ 180 / 8.99.

Using a calculator, we find that 180 / 8.99 ≈ 20.02.

Therefore, the teacher can purchase at most 20 Combo B meals, and the inequality that describes this limit is:

x ≤ 20.
