Write an inequality for the situation.

A pound of dog food costs $2 and treats are $1 apiece. If she buys
9 pounds of food, what is the greatest number of treats she can buy?

Respuesta :

tramserran

Answer:  7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the dog food and t represent the treats.

Then   2d + 1t < 25

Since d = 9, then we have 2(9) + t < 25

                                            18   + t < 25

                                                     t <  7

The maximum amount of treats that she can buy is: 7
