Let's denote the number of pounds of pears Jimmy can buy as "x". The total cost of the pears will be given by the product of the cost per pound and the number of pounds, which is 2.35*x.
We can set up the inequality 2.35*x ≤ 10, since Jimmy can only spend $10 or less.
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the inequality by 2.35:
x ≤ 10/2.35
x ≤ 4.26 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, Jimmy can buy a maximum of 4.26 pounds of pears.
Jimmy goes to the farmer's market to get some pears. The particular type of pears he likes costs $2.35 per pound. If he can only spend $10 or less, how many pounds can he buy?
The inequality would be Response area
Jimmy could by Response area pounds of pears.
