Q. Solve Problems with Inequalities - Quiz - Level GOmar has a gift card for $25 at a clothing store. He wants to buy socks that cost $4 per pair. He also has a coupon for $5 off his entire purchase. Omar wants to know how many pairs of socks he can buy.Let p be the number of pairs of socks Omar buys. Write an inequality that represents the situation.
Calculate Total Amount: First, let's calculate the total amount Omar can spend after using his coupon.He has a $25 gift card and a $5 coupon.Total amount = Gift card amount - Coupon amountTotal amount = $25 - $5Total amount = $20
Set Up Inequality: Now, we need to set up an inequality that shows how many pairs of socks, p, Omar can buy with $20. Each pair of socks costs $4, so the total cost for p pairs is 4p. The inequality will be 4p≤$20, because Omar can spend up to $20.
