Travis has decided to budget his spending money. He can spend no more than $ 143.15 every month. He has also decided to spend 5.2 times as much money on video games as he spends on movies. What linear inequality describes this problem ?

Respuesta :

Answer:m<$23.09

Step-by-step explanation: This question is tricky as there are unexplained variables.

Travis plans spending $143.15 every month but only two expenses were given to us, so other possible expenses may or may not be expended in this particular month.

That’s why we must include an inequality here.

Okay, back to the question.

Travis plans spending 5.2 times movie money on video games, my kinda dude.lol

Hence, 5.2m=v

m=movie budget

v=video games budget

But m+v<=143.15, the total proposed budget. Let’s replace v with 5.2m,

We have,

m+5.2m<=143.15

6.2m<=143.15

m<=23.0887

(We’ll have to approximate to the nearest cent)

m<$23.09
