Question

Travis has decided to budget his spending money. He can spend no more than $143.15 every month. He has also decided to spend 5.2 times as much money on video games as he spends on movies. What linear inequality describes this problem?

Answer 1

Let the amount spent on movies = m

The amount spent on video = 5.2m

Total expenditure = m + 5.2m

                             = 6.2 m


He can spend no more than $143.15 every month.

So, the amount spent must be less than or equal to $143.15


6.2m ≤ 143.15

m ≤ 23
