Answer:
- [tex]29.99 + 0.27n\leq 200[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The shop offers color copies to gold account holders for a reduced rate of $0.27 each.
Let the number of copies =n
Cost of n copies at reduce rate =$0.27n
Since he has to purchase a gold account to enjoy the reduced rate, this also forms part of his budget.
Jerrold has a budget of $200 for copies.
He purchases a gold account for $29.99
Therefore: Total Expenses = 29.99 + 0.27n
Since he cannot exceed his budget, his total expenses must be less than or equal to $200.
- [tex]29.99 + 0.27n\leq 200[/tex]
The inequality above best describes the most number of copies he can get if he purchases a gold account.
REMARK
[tex]0.27n\leq 200-29.99\\ 0.27n\leq170.01\\ 0.27n\leq629.7\\n=629[/tex]
He will actually get 629 copies.
