which inequality shows you stay under budget with a chicken sandwich that costs you $2.75 and to make you only have $500 to start the business

Question

Say that the inequality that shows your budget is 5.25x<=500 with x =# of sandwiches. what are the most sandwiches you can make?

Answer 1

To find the maximum number of sandwiches you can make, we need to solve the inequality 5.25x ≤ 500.

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 5.25 gives us:

x ≤ 500 / 5.25

Simplifying the right side gives us:

x ≤ 95.24

Since the number of sandwiches must be a whole number (you can't make a fraction of a sandwich), the maximum number of sandwiches you can make is 95.
