Respuesta :

Andrew wants to be less to be 25 of 75% of a number, plus three

75% as a fraction is 3/4

The inequality that represents the situation is (3x)/4 + 3 < 25.

What is the inequality that represents the situation?

Here are inequality signs and what they mean:
> means greater than

< means less than

≥ means greater than or equal to

≤ less than or equal to

The inequality that would be used is <

75% of x + number of pencils Andrew wants to have < 25

Where x is the number of pencils Andrew is buying

75%x + 3 < 25

(75/100)x + 3 < 25

3/4x + 3 < 25
