You have no more than $60 to spend. You want a drink that costs $1.50 including tax, and you want to buy a pair of pants, which will have 4% sales tax. What is the inequality that represents the pre-tax price of a pair of pants that you can afford if you buy the drink?

1.50 + 0.04p≤ 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p =  pre-tax price of pair of pants

Given: sales tax on pants = 4% = 0.04

Cost of drink = $1.50

Total cost = 1.50+0.04p

Required inequality : Total cost ≤ 60  [As you cannot spend more than that]

i.e. 1.50 + 0.04p≤ 60

Hence, the inequality that represents the pre-tax price of a pair of pants that you can afford if you buy the drink:1.50 + 0.04p≤ 60

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
