You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start by letting H = the price of a hamburger, F = the price of french fries, and C = the price of a Coca Cola.
\n" ); document.write( "From the problem description, you can write:
\n" ); document.write( "H = 2F \"The price of a hamburger (H) is (=) twice the price of french fries (2F)\"
\n" ); document.write( "C = F+$0.40 \"The price of a Coca Cola (C) is (=) 40 cents more than the price of french fries (F+$0.40)\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now the sum of these three items can be had for less than $4.00 (<$4.00), so we can write the inequality:
\n" ); document.write( "H+F+C < $4.00 Now we substitute H = 2F and C = F+$0.40 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2F+F+F+$0.40 < $4.00 Combining like-terms, we get:
\n" ); document.write( "4F+$0.40 < $4.00 Subtracting $0.40 from both sides of the inequality, we have:
\n" ); document.write( "4F < $3.60 Dividing both sides by 4, we end up with:
\n" ); document.write( "F < $0.90 or, in words, the price of french fries is no more than $0.90 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
