A volunteer is buying 10 blankets for the animal shelter. Shipping the blankets will cost $12 and the volunteer has $75 total to spend. What is the maximum amount the volunteer can spend for each blanket? Write an inequality that would represent the situation and solve the inequality. Show your work to justify your answer.

6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

10 blankets with an unidentified price plus 12 for shipping is equal to 75

10x+12=75

minus 12 from both sides

10x=63

divide 10 from both sides

x=6.3

Now, let's prove the answer is true.

10x+12=75

Replace x with 6.3

10(6.3)+12=75

10 times 6.3

63+12=75

75=75

The statement is true.

final answer is : )
