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 8.99 meals she can purchase?

1 answer

Let's assume that the teacher wants to purchase the maximum number of meals possible. Since the teacher has up to $180 to spend and each meal costs $8.99, the inequality that describes the most number of meals she can purchase is:

8.99x ≤ 180

Where x represents the number of meals.
