One says she doesn't feel well, she wants a soft drink and volunteers the remaining money to the others. How much do the other four sisters have to spend? Each sister has 10 dollars


Answer:
$12.11
Explanation:
From the menu:
• The cost of a Sprite = $1.55
Since she initially has $10 and volunteers the remaining money to the others:
[tex]10-1.55=\$8.45[/tex]Thus, the amount the other four sisters has in total will be:
[tex]4(10)+8.45=48.45[/tex]An inequality for the scenario will be:
[tex]4x\le48.45[/tex]We solve for x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x\le\frac{48.45}{4} \\ x\le\$12.11 \end{gathered}[/tex]Each of the other four sisters has at most $12.11 to spend.
