the average price of a particular brand of shampoo is $3.26. Depending on where you shop, the price may vary by as much as $0.25. Write an absolute value inequality describing the possible prices of the shampoo. Solve the inequality.
--------
|price - 3.26| <= 0.25
==========================
-0.25 +3.26 < price < 3.26 + 0.25
3.01 < price < 3.51
========================
