Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with $25.

Now subtract the cost of the necklace, $9.50.

$25 - $9.50 = $15.50

Dani has $15.50 left after buying the necklace.

Each pair of earrings costs $3.75.

To find the number of $3.75 pairs of earrings she can buy with $15.50, we divide $15.50 by $3.75.

$15.50/$3.75 =  4.13333...

Since you cannot buy a fraction of a pair of earrings, we must round 4.1333... down to 4.

Answer: 4 pairs of earrings.

The number of pairs of earrings that she can buy for $3.75 each without exceeding her budget will be 4.

What is inequality?

Inequality is simply a type of equation that does not have an equal sign in it. Inequality is defined as a statement about the relative size as well as is used to compare two statements.

Dani wants to spend less than $25 on a birthday present for her friend.

If she buys a necklace for $9.50.

Let x be the number of the earrings.

Then the number of the pair of earrings that she can buy for $3.75 each without exceeding her budget will be

Then the inequality equation will be

3.7x + 9.5 < 25

        3.7x < 15.5

             x < 4.189

Then the number of earrings will be 4.
