Text messages cost $15 eachYou can spend no more than $10Which of the following inequalities represents the amount of text messages m you can send? point) 0.15m >= 10; 15m <= 10; 0.15 <= 10m; 0.15 >= 10m

Answer 1

To determine the correct inequality that represents the situation, we need to understand that each text message costs $15, and you can spend no more than $10.

Let \( m \) be the number of text messages you can send. The total cost for \( m \) text messages would be \( 15m \). Since you cannot spend more than $10, we can write the inequality as:

\[ 15m \leq 10. \]

Now let's look at the given options:

1. \( 0.15m \geq 10 \)
2. \( 15m \leq 10 \) (this is the correct choice)
3. \( 0.15 \leq 10m \)
4. \( 0.15 \geq 10m \)

The correct inequality that represents the amount of text messages \( m \) you can send is:

\( 15m \leq 10 \).
