You and your family attended your brother's championship baseball game between endings you decided to go to the snake stand you go to the snack stand with $15 and find that sodas are $2.50 and that popcorn is $3.75 right in i n e q u a l i t y that model is 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

Answer 1

Let's call the number of sodas x. Since each soda costs $2.50, the cost of x sodas would be 2.50x.

If you also buy a bag of popcorn, which costs $3.75, the total cost of the snacks would be 2.50x + 3.75.

Since you have $15, we can set up the inequality:

2.50x + 3.75 ≤ 15

Now let's solve for x. First, subtract 3.75 from both sides:

2.50x ≤ 15 - 3.75
2.50x ≤ 11.25

Next, divide both sides by 2.50 to isolate x:

x ≤ 11.25 / 2.50

x ≤ 4.5

Since we cannot have a fraction of a soda, the maximum number of sodas you can buy is 4.
