The possible numbers of pounds she will buy is less than 7
Solution:
Given that,
Carmen buys candy that costs $5 per pound
She will spend less than $35 on candy
Let p be the number of pounds.
Then, cost for "p" candies is: [tex]5 \times p = 5p[/tex]
Therefore, cost of p candy is $5p
She will spend less than $35 on candy
Therefore,
[tex]5p<35[/tex]
Solve the inequality
[tex]p < \frac{35}{5}\\\\p < 7[/tex]
The possible numbers of pounds she will buy is less than 7
