You have $37.85 do you want to buy some tape that each cost $4.95 write and solve inequality to estimate the greatest number of tapes that you can buy

Cost of tape: 4.95

no. of tape : x

budget : 37.85

4.95x < 37.85

+++

4.95x < 37.85

:4.95 : 4.95

x < 7.65

* you have to buy tapes that are less than 7.65

Assuming you bought 7 tapes.

4.95x < 37.85

4.95 (7) < 37.85

34.65 < 37.85 * inequality is correct

If you buy more than 7 tapes, then, the cost of the tapes will be more than your budget. making the inequality incorrect.
