Problema Solution

I drove to the store with my mom with $10.00 for chips.

For one large it costs $2.00 and for one small it costs $1.00. I purchased 3 large bags for $2.00 and purchased N bags of small chips. How many small chips did I buy?

Answer provided by our tutors

the cost of 3 larges bags chips for 2$ each is 3*2 = 6


the cost of N small bags of chips for 1$ each is N*1 = N


the maximum money that i could spend was 10$ thus


6 + N <= 10


by solving the inequity we find


N <= 4 small bags of chips
