50-6= 44

44/4.50= 9.77

to check answer

9 x 4.50= 40.5

he can buy 9 sandwiches


Answer:

An inequality to determine how many sandwiches he can buy is [tex]4.50x+6\leq 50[/tex] and no. of sandwiches he bought is 9 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of sandwiches he can buy

Cost of 1 sandwich = $4.50

Cost of x sandwiches = 4.50x

He already bought chips for $6

At most, Kyle can spend $50 on sandwiches and chips for a picnic.

So, [tex]4.50x+6\leq 50[/tex]

[tex]4.50x \leq 50-6[/tex]

[tex]4.50x \leq 44[/tex]

[tex]x \leq \frac{44}{4.50}[/tex]

[tex]x \leq 9.78[/tex]

Hence an inequality to determine how many sandwiches he can buy is [tex]4.50x+6\leq 50[/tex] and no. of sandwiches he bought is 9 .
