Alonso brings $21 to the market to buy eggs and avocados. He gets eggs that cost $2.50. Then, he notices that the store only sells avocados in bags of 3 for $5. He wants to buy as many avocados as he can with his
remaining money.
Let B represent the number of bags of avocados that Alonso buys.
1) Which inequality describes this scenario?

2.50 + 5B ≤ 21;

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of eggs = $2.50

Cost of avocado = $5 (bag of 3)

Total budgeted amount = $21

Bags of avocado = B

Therefore :

(Cost of eggs + cost of avocado) ≤ total budgeted amount

($2.50 + $5(B)) ≤ 21

2.50 + 5B ≤ 21

5B ≤ 21 - 2.50

5B ≤ 18.50

B ≤ 18.50 / 5

B ≤ 3.7

Therefore the maximum number of bags can purchase is 3(whole number without exceeding $21)

Step-by-step explanation:

The money Alonso has is $21 which he wants to use to buy eggs and Avocados. The eggs he bought costs $2.50. Therefore the money remaining after the egg is bought is $18.50 (21 - 2.50)

Each bag of avocado cost $5, therefore the number of bags that can be bought with $18.50 is:

Bags of Avocado = $18.50 / $5 = 3.7 = 3 (to the previous whole number).

This means that the maximum number of bags of Avocado that can be bought is 3 bags. It can be represented by the inequality:

Bags ≤ 3
