Rebecca bought one gold fish for $35
and one star fish for $12. she spends the
rest of the money on guppy fish. she starts
with $80. each guppy fish costs $6. write
and solve an inequality to determine the
number of guppies she can purchase.

since Rebecca started with $80 and spends $35 and $12 on the gold fish and star fish, she's left with

dollars for guppy fishes.

Since each of them costs $6, x guppy fishes will cost $6x. This amount must be less than 33, so we have

So, the can buy at most 5 guppy fishes.

 The required number of guppies that she can purchase is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Rebecca bought one gold fish for $35  and one star fish for $12. She spends the  rest of the money on guppy fish.

She starts  with $80. Each guppy fish costs $6.

We are to write and solve an  inequality to determine the  number of guppies she can purchase.

Let x represents the number of guppy fishes that she can purchase.

Then, according to the given information, the inequality can be written and solved as follows :

Thus, the required number of guppies that she can purchase is 5.
