Cheryl has $56 and wants to buy as many notebooks as she can to donate to her school. if each notebook costs $1.60, which inequality shows n, the maximum number of notebooks she can buy with her money?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of notebooks.

We have been given that Cheryl has $56 and wants to buy as many notebooks as she can to donate to her school.

Each notebook costs $1.60, so the cost of n books will be 1.60n.

As Cheryl can spend only $56 on books, this means cost of n books should be less than or equal to 56. We can represent this information in an equation as:

Therefore, the inequality represents the maximum number of notebooks she can buy with her money.

Let us solve for n by dividing both sides of our equation by 1.60.

Therefore, Cheryl can buy at-most 35 books.
