Respuesta :

x - number of CDs;
An inequality is:
x · $11.99 ≤ $59.95
x ≤ $59.95 : $11.99
x ≤ 5
Answer:
5 CDs

Answer:

number of CDs can you buy is 5 or less than 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of CDs buy.

As per the statement:

If the CDs are $11.99 each

⇒Cost of x CDs  = 11.99x

It is also given that:

You have $59.95 in your wallet and want to buy some new CDs

⇒[tex]11.99x \leq 59.95[/tex]

We get an inequality:

[tex]11.99x \leq 59.95[/tex]

Solve for x:

Divide both sides by 11.99 we have;

[tex]x \leq \frac{59.95}{11.99} = 5[/tex]

[tex]x \leq 5[/tex]

Therefore, number of CDs can you buy is : [tex]x \leq 5[/tex]
