Answer:

d) The maximum number of footballs the team can purchase is 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

975+34f≤ 2500

Subtract 975 from both sides: 975-975+34f≤ 2500-975

34f≤ 1525

Divide both sides by 34: 34f/34≤ 1525/34

f≤ 44.853

You can't purchase 0.853 of a helmet so the maximum you can buy is 44

The maximum number of footballs the team can purchase is 44.

What is inequality?

Inequality directs to the phenomenon of unequal and/or unjust distribution of resources and possibilities among members of a given society. The word inequality may mean different things to various people and in different contexts.

A declaration of an order relationship between two numbers or algebraic expressions, such as greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to.

Given

975+34f≤ 2500

Subtracting 975 from both sides: 975-975+34f≤ 2500-975

34f≤ 1525

Dividing both sides by 34: 34f/34≤ 1525/34

f≤ 44.853

so the maximum you can buy is 44
