Answer:
[tex]w < 4 \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality symbol for 'less than' is '<'.
Let's relate the cost and the number of each item bought together with an equation.
Total cost
= (number of rolls)(cost of each roll) +(number of bags)(cost per bag of bows)
= w(1.50) +2(1.50)
= 1.5w +3
Now, we can form the inequality.
Since the total cost is less than $10,
1.5w +3< 10
Subtract 3 from both sides:
1.5w < 10 -3
1.5w < 7
Divide both sides by 1.5:
[tex]w < 7 \div \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
[tex]w < 7 \times \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
[tex]w < \frac{14}{3} [/tex]
[tex]\textcolor{red}{w < 4 \frac{2}{3} }[/tex]
