Benito has $120 to go shopping. He spends $30 on a pair of jeans. Benito also wants to buy some rings that cost $18 each. He writes and solves an inequality to determine how many rings r can buy. What was his error?

5 rings

Explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of ring = $18 per ring

Total amount held = $120

Amount spent on jeans = $30

The number of rings Benito can buy can be represented as :

The total cost of rings plus the cost of jeans should be less or equal to the total amount held.

Total cost of rings ($18 * r) + Cost of jeans ≤ Total amount held

18r + 30 ≤ 120

18r ≤ 120 - 30

18r ≤ 90

r ≤ 90/18

r ≤ 5

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
