Respuesta :
The team can buy 5 volleyballs. I wrote the inequality (12)(22) + 15n < 350, then did the multiplication first. I used the subtraction and division properties of inequality to isolate the variable to find that n is less than about 5.73. I rounded down to 5, since you can’t buy part of a volleyball.
With the amount raised of $350, and jerseys bought at $12 are 22, the
maximum number of volleyballs the team can buy are 5 volleyballs.
How can the number volleyballs bought be calculated?
Given parameters;
The amount the volleyball team raised = $350
Cost of a jersey = $12
Number of jerseys needed = 22 jerseys
Cost of each volleyball = $15
Required:
The maximum number of volleyball the team can buy and still have some money left.
Solution:
The cost of 22 jerseys = 22 × $12 = $264
Amount remaining = $350 - $264 = $86
Dividing the amount left by the number of volleyballs bought, we have;
[tex]Maximum \ number \ of \ volleyball \ bought = \mathbf{ \dfrac{\$86 }{\$15 \, per \ volleyball}} \approx 5.7 \overline{3}[/tex]
Given that the number of volleyballs are whole numbers, we have;
- The maximum number of volleyball bought = 5 volleyballs
The cost of 5 volleyballs = 5 × $15 = $75
The amount of money left = $86 - $75 = $11
