An ice cream shop sells ice cream cones, c, and
milkshakes, m. Each ice cream cone costs $1.50
and each milkshake costs $2.00. Donna has $19.00
to spend on ice cream cones and milkshakes. If she
must buy 5 ice cream cones, which inequality could
be used to determine the maximum number of
milkshakes she can buy?

Answer:

$7.50+m > $19

The inequality to be used for determining the maximum number of milkshakes she can buy will be in the form of:

[tex]\$7.50+\$2.00\rm{m}\leq \$19.00[/tex]

  The inequality in the position or the relationship between two variables in order to make the total either greater than, less than, or greater than equal to, or less than equal to the total amount.  

The inequality can be between numbers or algebraic expressions.  

In the given case,

  • Per unit cost of ice cream cone $1.50
  • Per unit cost of milkshakes $2.00
  • The total amount for spending is $19.00
  • Number of ice cream cones bought 5  

To determine the inequality for the number of milkshakes the inequality will be formed as follows:  

The total cost of ice cream cones will be added with the total cost of milkshakes (where m is the number of milkshakes) and the sign used will be greater than or equal to the given amount to be spent.  

Therefore, the inequality will be  [tex]\$7.50+\$2.00\rm{m}\leq \$19.00[/tex]
