Linear Inequality Word Problems

Elliott decides to take his friends to a movie with his $50 of birthday money. He must take one adult with him. An adult ticket costs $9.75. Each child ticket cost $6.25. What is the maximum number of friends Elliott could take with him to the movies?

(Be careful here- Elliott has to be removed from the group of friends before you answer!)

Solve the inequality/answer the question.

You have $14 in your pocket. A taxi has a ride fee of $5 plus an additional fee of $0.60 per mile. What is the most miles you could ride in the taxi?

(Mileage is rounded up if you stop before a complete mile.)

Write the inequality to the problem.

• 0.60x+5 ≥ 14

• 0.60x+5 ≤ 14

• 0.60x+5 > 14

• 0.60x+5 < 14
