A pastry chef wants to spend less than $100 on almonds. Almonds cost $4 per pound. Write and solve an inequality to represent p, the number of pounds of almonds the chef could by.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]p<25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 pound costs $4, the $100 that the chef has can be converted to pounds by dividing the money he has by the cost of the pound:

[tex]100/4=25[/tex]

the chef could by 25 pounds with $100.

Since he wants to spend LESS THAN $100, that means he wants to buy LESS THAN 25 pounds

so if [tex]p[/tex] is the number of pounds of almonds the chef could buy, the inequality that represents this situation is:

[tex]p<25[/tex]

this is because the chef can only buy less than 25 of the pound of almonds and the symbol '<' represents that.
