Jay is buying pumpkins at a pumpkin patch to decorate his front porch. The pumpkins are $3.50 each and he wants to spend less than $25. Write an inequality that represents how many pumpkins, p, Jay can buy.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Let x represent the number of pumpkins that can be purchased for $25

The cost of a particular pumpkin to decorate a porch = $3.50

The amount to be spent on pumpkins by Jay is x < $25

Thus,

With such an amount;

Jay would be able to buy $25/$3.50 = 7 pumpkins
