8 Leo goes to a packing store to buy containers and tape. Leo has $15. Each container costs $1.87 and each roll of tape costs $2.40. Which inequality represents the relationship between the number of containers, c, and the number of rolls of tape, t, Leo can buy? + #
Correct answer: A (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
$1.87 Choice A is correct. It’s given that each container costs and c represents 1.87 the number of containers. It follows that c represents the cost, in dollars, of $2.40 c containers. It’s also given that each roll of tape costs and t represents 2.40 the number of rolls of tape. It follows that t represents the cost, in dollars, of t rolls of tape. Therefore, the total cost, in dollars, for c containers and t rolls of 1.87 +2.40 $15 tape is c t. It’s given that Leo has . It follows that the total cost, in 15 dollars, must be less than or equal to . Therefore, the inequality 1.87 +2.40 #15 c t represents this relationship. 44 SAT PRACTICE TEST #11 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS SAT ANSWER EXPLANATIONS n MATH: MODULE 2 Choice B is incorrect.
