Q. Solve Problems with Inequalities - Quiz - Level G\newlineOmar has a gift card for $25 \$ 25 at a clothing store. He wants to buy socks that cost $4 \$ 4 per pair. He also has a coupon for $5 \$ 5 off his entire purchase. Omar wants to know how many pairs of socks he can buy.\newlineLet p p be the number of pairs of socks Omar buys. Write an inequality that represents the situation.
  1. Calculate Total Amount: First, let's calculate the total amount Omar can spend after using his coupon.\newlineHe has a $25\$25 gift card and a $5\$5 coupon.\newlineTotal amount = Gift card amount - Coupon amount\newlineTotal amount = $25\$25 - $5\$5\newlineTotal amount = $20\$20
  2. Set Up Inequality: Now, we need to set up an inequality that shows how many pairs of socks, pp, Omar can buy with $20\$20. Each pair of socks costs $4\$4, so the total cost for pp pairs is 4p4p. The inequality will be 4p$204p \leq \$20, because Omar can spend up to $20\$20.
