Answer:

p < 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = number of pounds of candy Lena will buy

Given:

  • Candy = $5 per pound
  • Lena will spend less than $40

Create an inequality using the given information:

⇒ 5p < 40

Solve the inequality:

⇒ 5p < 40

Divide both sides by 5

⇒ p < 8

The answer would be p > 8
The inequality to solve this would be 5p < 40
In the equation you are multiplying 5 by p, so you do the opposite and divide 5 and 40 by 5

5 divided by 5 cancels out, and 40 divided by 5 = 8. Take the leftover p and the < and make an inequality with 8. p < 8
