Answer: 3.00 ≥ 0.21 x
The number of Comet Goldfish Eva can buy = 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be the number of Comet Goldfish.
The cost of each fish = $0.21
Then , the cost of 'x' Comet Goldfish = $0.21 x
Total amount Eva has = $3.00
Now , the required inequality is
Total amount Eva has ≥ Cost of 'x' Comet Goldfish
3.00 ≥ 0.21 x
To find x , we divide both sides by 0.21 , we get
14.2857142857 ≥x
⇒x= 14 [∵ x cannot be a decimal number as it represents the number of fish.]
Hence, the number of Comet Goldfish Eva can buy = 14.
