Question: A grocery store owner budgets $5,000 to buy and maintain a booth for 300 days to give out samples of food. If she bought the booth for $1,400, how much money, in dollars, can she spend on food each day for samples and stay within budget? Write an inequality that represents this situation and indicate what the solution to the inequality will look like.
Answer:
a)1400 + 300x ≤ 5000
b) x ≤ 12 days
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Since the grocery store owner wants to stay within budget then, this means he would be spending at most $5,000
The word at most is represented by the inequality sign ≤ = Less than or equal to
Let x = Number of days
Hence,
Our inequality equation is
$1400 + 300× x ≤ $5000
1400 + 300x ≤ 5000
b) Solving for x
1400 + 300x ≤ 5000
300x ≤ 5000 – 1400
300x ≤ 3600
x ≤ 3600/300
x ≤ 12 days
