Question

You and your family attend your brother’s championship baseball game. Between innings you decide to go to the snack stand. You go to the snack stand with $15 and find that sodas are $2.50 and that popcorn is $3.75. Write an inequality that models the number of sodas you can buy if you get a bag of popcorn too. What is the maximum number of sodas you can buy in this situation?
Responses
A	2.5x + 3.75 < 15; 4 sodas
B	2.5x + 3.75 ≤ 15; 4 sodas
C	2.5x + 3.75 < 15; 5 sodas
D	2.5x + 3.75 ≤ 15; 5 sodas

GPT 3.5 · Answer

The correct answer is D) 2.5x + 3.75 ≤ 15; 5 sodas.

In this situation, "x" represents the number of sodas. Since the total cost must be less than or equal to $15 (the amount of money you have), we use the inequality 2.5x + 3.75 ≤ 15.

To find the maximum number of sodas, we need to solve the inequality for x:
2.5x + 3.75 ≤ 15
2.5x ≤ 15 - 3.75
2.5x ≤ 11.25
x ≤ 11.25 / 2.5
x ≤ 4.5

Since x represents the number of sodas, you can buy a maximum of 4 sodas in this situation.
