Question

A pet store is increasing wellness pet food prices to $1.65 if the wellness pet food ranges from $25.31 to $45.52 which compound inequality represents the solution

Answer 1

Let x be the original price of the wellness pet food. After the increase, the price is: x + 1.65. Since the increased price ranges from $25.31 to $45.52, the compound inequality is: 25.35 is less than or equal to x + 1.65 is less than or equal to 45.52. If you instead want the inequality for the original prices, subtract 1.65 from all parts, which will be: 23.66 less than or equal to x is less than or equal to 43.87. Either form correctly represents the situation, depending on whether you are describing the new price or the original price.
