Teegan likes to play golf. He has budgeted $55 next month for the driving range. It costs him $10.15 for a bucket of balls each time he goes. What is the maximum number of times he can go to the driving range next month?

Respuesta :

Let t be the total cost of going playing golf during the month; therefore,

[tex]t\le55[/tex]

Since Teegan has no more than $55 to spend.

Furthermore, if x is the number of buckets of balls,

[tex]t=10.15x[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\Rightarrow10.15x\le55[/tex]

Solving for x,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x\le\frac{55}{10.15}=5.4187\ldots \\ \Rightarrow x\le5.4187\ldots \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the maximum number of times he can go is 5 times.
