Question

Vance wants to have pictures framed. Each frame and mat costs $32 and he has at most $150 to spend. How do you write and solve an inequality to determine the number of pictures he can have framed?

Answer 1

Number of pictures can be framed is `4`

Let number of pictures can be framed is `x`

Cost of framing is `$32` for one picture.

`:. x*32 <=150 or x <= 150/32 or x <= 4.6875`

Number of pictures must be an integer.

`:. x =4`

Hence number of pictures can be framed is `4` [Ans]
