Alonso went to the market with \( \$ 55 \) to buy eggs and sugar. He knows he needs a package of 12 eggs that costs \( \$ 2.75 \). After getting the eggs, he wants to buy as much sugar as he can with his remaining money. The sugar he likes comes in boxes that each cost \( \$ 11.50 \).
Let \( S \) represent the number of boxes of sugar Alonso buys.
1) Which inequality describes this scenario?
Choose 1 answer:
(A) \( 2.75+S \leq 55 \)
(B) \( 2.75+S \geq 55 \)
(c) \( 2.75+11.50 S \leq 55 \)
(D) \( 2.75+11.50 S \geq 55 \)
2) After getting the eggs, how many boxes of sugar can Alonso afford?
boxes
Answer
2) \( S \leq \frac{52.25}{11.50} \)
Step 1 ：1) (C) \( 2.75+11.50 S \leq 55 \)
Step 2 ：2) \( S \leq \frac{55-2.75}{11.50} \)
Step 3 ：2) \( S \leq \frac{52.25}{11.50} \)
