The equation below can be used to find the cause of di water bottles cost 1.2b + 20

jerome has $300
what is the maximum number of water bottles jerome can order and stay within the $300 budget

  233

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerome wants to find b such that ...

  cost of di water bottles ≤ 300

  1.2b + 20 ≤ 300 . . . . . . substitute expression for cost

  1.2b ≤ 280 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 20

  b ≤ 280/1.2 = 233 1/3

The maximum number of water bottles Jerome can order is 233.

We assume Jerome cannot order 1/3 of a bottle.

yeah i know the problem you need. i am taking it right now. the answer is step 3
