Let's say Omar wants to buy "x" bracelets for his friends.
Since each bracelet costs $3.25 and he wants to buy "x" bracelets, the total cost of the bracelets for his friends would be 3.25x dollars.
We can set up the inequality as:
3.25x ≤ 40.00
This inequality represents that the cost of the bracelets can't exceed $40.00, which is the amount of money Omar has on his gift card.
Omar has a gift card for $40.00 at a gift shop. Omar wants to buy a hat for himself for $13.50. For his friends, he would like to buy souvenir bracelets, which are $3.25 each. All prices include taxes.
Which inequality can be used to solve for how many bracelets Omar can buy?
