At the state fair, admission at the gate is $8 . In addition, the cost of each ride is $3 . Suppose that Joe will go on x rides.
Joe wants the total number of dollars he spends on admission and rides to be at most t. Using the values and variables given, write an inequality describing this.

Respuesta :

8 + 3x ≤ t

8 would be the admission at the gate

3x would be the cost of the rides multiplied by how many rides Joe chooses to go on

≤ The 8 + 3x has to be less than or equal to the amount Joe wants to pay at most

t is the max amount of money Joe will spend at the fair.

The inequality would be:

8 + 3x <= t (btw, the <= is less than or equal to)

At most is denoted by less than or equal to (<=), the admission is one value, and each ride costs 3 dollars.

Therefore, the answer is

8 + 3x <= t
