Raleigh went to a gaming arcade for his birthday. His parent gave him $55 to spend. He purchased $14.25 in food and drinks and put the rest of the money into the gaming arcade. Each game in the arcade costs $1.25.

Write a linear inequality to represent how many games (g) Raleigh can play in the arcade.

Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]g[/tex] denotes number of games that Raleigh can play in the arcade.

Cost of 1 game = $1.25

Cost of [tex]g[/tex] games = [tex]\$1.25g[/tex]

Amount spent in food and drinks = $14.25

Total amount spent by Raleigh = [tex]14.25+1.25g[/tex]

Also, amount with Raleigh = $55

So, the inequality is [tex]14.25+1.25g\leq 55[/tex]

Divide the inequality by 5

[tex]2.85+0.25g\leq 11[/tex][tex]2.85+0.25g\leq 11[/tex]
