Kevin buys candy that costs $8 per pound. He will buy at least 12 pounds of candy. What are the possible...
Use c for the amount (in dollars) Kevin will spend on candy.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.
Solution:
Let the number of pounds of candy Kevin buys be represented by p. Since he will buy at least 12 pounds, we have:
p ≥ 12
The cost per pound is $8, so the total cost c is given by:
c = 8p
Substituting the inequality for p, we get:
c = 8p ≥ 8(12)
c ≥ 96
Therefore, the inequality for the amount Kevin will spend is:
c ≥ 96
