Answer:
3 erasers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p = pencils and e = erasers. Since we know that Jensen has $4, we can set up the following inequality and solve for e.
0.70p + 0.50e ≤ 4
0.70(3) + 0.50e ≤ 4
2.10 + 0.50e ≤ 4
0.50e ≤ 1.90
e ≤ 3.8
Since erasers are usually bought as whole items, the maximum amount of erasers Jensen can buy is 3.
