Marcus is buying 10 gift bags for his birthday party. He will choose items to put
in the bags and then pay an additional
charge of $0.75 for the actual bag.
Marcus cannot spend more than $50,
Write and solve an inequality to find the
most Marcus can spend on the items for
each bag,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of items for 10 bags be represented by x

Cost of 1 bag=$ 0.75

Cost of 10 bags=$ (0.75×10)

                        = $ 7.5

Total cost of 10 bags with items in them=$(7.5+x)

Marcus cannot spend more than $50.

i.e. 7.5+x≤50

Subtracting both sides by 7.5

x≤42.5

Most Marcus can spend for items in 10 bags=$42.5

Most Marcus can spend for items in 1 bag=$(42.5/10)=$4.25

Hence, most Marcus can spend on the items for each bag is:

$4.25

you can also find this on

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
