a bookstoreis having a sale in which all paperbacks are $6 each. the store is limiting the number of books a costumer can buy to 8?
a. use the number books that a costumer can buy to write a domain for this problem.
b. if Katrese does not want to spend more than $25, the number of books she might buy, b is given by the expression 6b is less than or equal to 25. find the solution set of this open sentense using the domain from part a.

a bookstore is having a sale in which all paperbacks are $6 each. the store is limiting the number of books a costumer can buy to 8?
a. use the number books that a costumer can buy to write a domain for this problem.
Domain: 0<= x <= 8 where x is a natural number
-------------------------------------
b. if Katrese does not want to spend more than $25, the number of books she might buy, b is given by the expression 6b is less than or equal to 25. find the solution set of this open sentense using the domain from part a.
how many books can katrese buy
6b <= 25
b <= 4 1/6
0<= b <= 4
