Respuesta :

We have to write the inequality to represent this problem.

He has $27 so the total amount spend has to be equal to or smaller than this value.

The total amount spent will be 6 times the price of a sandwich (6x, if x represents the price of a sandwich) plus 3, which is the amount of the kid's meal.

Then, we can can write that the total amount has to be equal to or smaller than 27 as:

[tex]6x+3\leq27[/tex]

This inequality can be solved as:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x+3\leq27 \\ 6x\leq27-3 \\ x\leq\frac{24}{6} \\ x\leq4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So the sandwich has to cost $4 or less.

Answer:

Inequality: 6x + 3 ≤ 27 [Option D]

Answer: $4 or less [Option B]
