Maya has $15 to spend. she spent $5.50, including tax, to buy a notebook. she needs to save $7.75, but she wants to buy a snack. if cookies cost $0.25 per package including tax, what inequality would show the maximum number of packages that maya can buy? solve your inequality by showing your work and steps.

15 - 5.50 - .25x </= 7.75

$15 = $5.50 + $7.75 + $0.25x

(15=what maya has spent)

$15 = $5.50 + $7.75 + $0.25x

Now you have to add first:

$15 = $13.25 + $0.25x

Now subtract:

1.75 = .25 x

Lastly: Divide $1.75 by .25

X=7

Maya can but 7 packages of cookies

if your confused why I put the x it shows how many maya could buy.
