Amir has $50 to spend. She wants to buy a CD for $20 and spend the rest on jewelry sets which cost $8 each. Write an inequality and then solve for the number of jewelry sets she can buy.
X = The amount of cd's Y = Jewelry sets X + Y = 50 X + 8y<_50 20 + 8Y<_50 Subtract 20 from both sides. 8Y<_30 Divide by 8 on both sides Y<_3.75 (3 total) She can buy 3 jewelry sets.
