The total amount Gina can spend at the party is $490.
She has already spent $400.
Let x be the number of pizzas she can purchase.
The cost of each pizza is $10.
So, the inequality can be represented as:
$400 + $10x < $490
Now, solve for x:
$10x < $90
x < 9
So, the largest number of pizzas she can purchase and still stay under her budget is 8.
Inequality: x < 9
Gina is having a party and wants to spend less than $490. She has already spent $400. The only item left on her list is pizzas, which cost $10 each.
