Avideo game system costs $185 and one video game costs $14.95. you can spend no more than $280 on the system and games. set up and solve an inequality to calculate the maximum number of games you can purchase

Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase  

is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let us say the number of video game system we can buy that costs $185

 is x and the number of video games of cost $14.95 is y.

ii) The total amount we can spend on the purchase of the video game

   system is $280.

iii) Now with the amount of $280 mentioned in ii) we can see that the

   number  of game systems that can be bought is 1.

 Therefore x = 1.

 Therefore the equation we can write to equate the number of video

  games  and video game system is given by $185 + $14.95 × y ≤ 280

  Therefore 14.95 × y ≤ 280 - 185 = 95

  Therefore y ≤   95 ÷ 14.95 = 6.355

  Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase  

   is 6.

the answer to this question is 3/19
