She can only buy 3 pizzas. 14 times 3 is 42. 42 plus 7.50 is 49.50. Another 14 dollars would be over. So 24 SLICES she can afford.

Here, we are required to identify the inequality that describes Jacque's pizza purchase scenario and also the largest number of slices that Jacque can afford

Choice 1 which is ;

  • Choice 1 which is ;7.50 + 14 P < 60

Choice 1 which is ;7.50 + 14 P < 60Jacque can afford to buy 30slices of pizza

First,

  • Since the restaurant charges a fixed $ 7.50 for delivery and
  • charges $ 14 per pizza.
  • and she also needs to keep the delivery fee plus the cost of the pizzas under $ 60

The inequality which describes the scenario is :

Choice 1 which is ;

  • 7.50 + 14 P < 60

And to determine the largest number of slices that Jacque can afford, we have to solve for P first.

  • Therefore, 14P < 60 - 7.50
  • P = 52.50/14
  • P = 3.75
  • Therefore, Jacque can only buy 3.75 pizzas

However, the question requires that we determine how many slices she can afford to buy,

  • Since each pizza is cut into 8 slices

Jacque can afford to buy 3.75 × 8 slices of pizza.

Jacque can afford to buy 30slices of pizza
