Question

 Rebecca can spend no more than $150 on video games. If  there is an 8% tax and a five dollar shipping charge, what is the maximum amount of video games she can buy if the games cost $45 without tax 

Answer 1

150 ≤ 5 + 1.08(45) (x)

 

150 ≤ 5 + 48.60(x)

 

145 ≤ 48.60(x)

 

x = 2.98

 

This means she can buy only 2 games to stay equal to or below her spending limit.
