Julia wants to go bowling at the Syosset Bowling Alley. Each game costs $4.25. She needs to rent shoes, which costs $3.75. Julia does not want to spend more than $25. What is the maximum number of games Julia can bowl? Which translation matches the situation?

• 3.75x + 4.25 ≥ 25
• 3.75 + 4.25x ≤ 25
• 3.75 + 4.25x  ≥ 25
• 3.75x + 4.25 ≤ 25

Luke went to the St. Boniface Feast with $22.50 in his pocket. He bought a hot dog and a drink for $3.75, and then wanted to spend the rest of his money on tickets for rides which cost $1.25 per ticket. Write an inequality if Luke does not exceed 22.50.

• 22.50 - 3.75x ≥ 1.25
• 22.50 - 1.25x > 3.75
• 1.25x + 3.75 < 22.50
• 22.50 ≥ 1.25x + 3.75
