Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

Since candy costs $8 per pound and Abdul buys at most 5 pounds, if he buys x pounds of candy then:

Total cost, c = 8x

and the weight satisfies:

x ≤ 5

Substituting x = c/8 into the inequality:

c/8 ≤ 5

Multiplying both sides by 8:

c ≤ 40

Thus, the inequality solved for c is:

c ≤ 40
Abdul will spend at most \$40 on candy.
