Hi Game master:)

 

Cyril is going to buy a coat and a hat. The coat costs 3 times as much as the hat. He cannot spend more than $120. Write an inequality to describe this situation. 

 

Let H be the cost of a hat and let n be the number of hats

Let C be the cost of a coat and let k be the number of coats

 

C=3H

nH+kC<=120

 

nH+k(3H)<=120

nH+3kH<=120

H(n+3k)<=120
