Answer:
The maximum number of container is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The cost of a gallon of orange juice is $3.50 what is the maximum number of contained you can buy for $15.
Let the number of container is x.
The cost of each gallon is $3.50.
So for x gallons you need to pay $3.50x
But the maximum money you can spend is $15.
Thus the required inequality is:
\(3.5x\leq 15\)
Now solve the inequality as shown.
Divide both the sides by 3.5
\(x\leq \frac{15}{3.5}\)
\(x\leq 4.286\)
Hence the maximum number of container is 4.
