You are at the music store to buy some CDs. You have $45 to spend, and the store sells CDs for $12.99 each.
Write an inequality that represents the number, \( n \), of CDs that you can buy without spending more money than you have.
Answer (2)
$45>(or equal to)$12.99n you can spend less then or equal to forty five dollars without going into debt.
You can represent the maximum number of CDs you can buy with the inequality 12.99 n ≤ 45 . Solving this gives n ≤ 3 , meaning you can buy up to 3 CDs. This ensures you don't exceed your budget of $45.
