Aschool will give its baseball teams less than $840 to buy new helmets. each helmet costs $20. the maximum number of helmets, c, they can purchase is represented by the inequality 20c < 840. select the maximum number of helmets they can buy. a. 28 b. 32 c. 41 d. 44 e.84

Maximum number of helmets they can buy is 41

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

A school will give its baseball teams less than $840 to buy new helmets.

Cost of each helmet = $20

Let c be the maximum number they can purchase.

Then, this situation can be represented with the help of an inequality:

To find the number of maximum helmet, they can buy, we have to solve the inequality:

Thus, the maximum number of helmets they can buy should be less than 42.

Since, helmets are discrete, thus, they buy 41 helmets.
