Macy is making each of her 7 friends a bracelet. She does not want to spend more than $40 on the bracelets. Write an inequality to show how much money Marcy can spend on each bracelet.

Answer 1

Let use the variable n to represent the maximum cost for each bracelet.

7n<40

So, 7 times n is less than $40.

To solve for n, just divide both sides of the equation by 7.
