# Math Help - Writing an inequality

1. ## Writing an inequality

Plz Help!

Write an inequality to represent this situation:
I have a budget of $50 and need to buy bottles of drink and packets of chips for a party. The drinks cost$1.65 each and the chips are $2.50 per packet. 2. It certainly should look like this: (stuff about the cost of drinks and chips) <=$50.00

Other than that, the world is wide open to you. There are infinitely many such inequalities. Just make one up!

Write an inequality to represent this situation:
I have a budget of $50 and need to buy bottles of drink and packets of chips for a party. The drinks cost$1.65 each and the chips are $2.50 per packet. TKHunny is correct . . . There are many possible inequalities. But I suspect this is the one they're expecting: Let . $\begin{array}{ccc}D &=& \text{number of bottles of drink} \\ C &=& \text{number of packets of chips} \end{array}$ The $D$ bottles of drink cost a total of: . $1.65D$ dollars. The $C$ packets of chips cost a total of: . $2.50C$ dollars. . . The total cost is: . $1.65D + 2.50C$ dollars. We can spend up to$50: . $\boxed{1.65D + 2.50C \:\leq \:50.00}$
