Question 139760: You are at the music store to buy some CDs. You have $45 to spend and the store sells CDs for $12.99 each. Write an inequality that represents the number,n, of the CDs that you can buy without spending more money than you have.

I'm having problems with this one because I'm not sure on how to set it up. I know you don't want to go over the 45 dollars and you can buy 3 CDs with that money that you have, but i'm just stuck because i don't know how to set it up. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

Let some variable be the number of CDs you buy, x works as it does for most things. The amount of money you spend is then x times $12.99, or 12.99x, and this quantity must be less than or equal to $45.00, so:

12.99x%3C=45.00
