14. Holt CA Course 1 11-8 Solving Two-Step Inequalities Sun-Li has $30 to spend at the carnival. Admission is $5, and each ride costs $2. What is the greatest number of rides she can ride? Additional Example 2: Application 5 + 2r ≤ 30 – 5 –5 2r ≤ 25 2 Subtract 5 from both sides. Divide both sides by 2. r ≤ 1212 25 2, or 12 Sun-Li can ride only a whole number of rides, so the most she can ride is 12. Let r represent the number of rides Sun-Li can ride.

15. Holt CA Course 1 11-8 Solving Two-Step Inequalities Brice has $30 to take his brother and his friends to the movies. If each ticket costs $4.00, and he must buy tickets for himself and his brother, what is the greatest number of friends he can invite? Check It Out! Example 2 8 + 4t ≤ 30 – 8 –8 4t ≤ 22 4 Subtract 8 from both sides. Divide both sides by 4. t ≤ 5.5 Brice can only buy a whole number of tickets, so the most people he can invite is 5. Let t represent the number of tickets.
