Let BBB represent the number of bags of avocados that Alonso buys. 1) Which inequality describes this scenario?

Respuesta :

This scenario is described by the following inequality:

[tex]2.5 + 5B \leq 21[/tex]

-------------------------

  • First, we find Alonso's total spendings.
  • He spends $2.50 in eggs.
  • After that, he buys B bags of avocados, each costing $5, and thus, his spending on avocados is: [tex]5B[/tex]
  • His total spending is given by:

[tex]T = 2.5 + 5B[/tex]
