Makayla has $8 to buy tickets at the school fair. Each ticket costs $1.50. Which inequalitybest represents how many tickets she can buy?

Answer 1

Let $x$ represent the number of tickets Makayla can buy. The cost of each ticket is $1.50, so the total cost of $x$ tickets is $1.50x$. Makayla has $8 to spend, so the inequality that represents how many tickets she can buy is:

$$1.50x\le 8$$

This inequality states that the total cost of the tickets must be less than or equal to the amount of money she has.
