Binders cost $4 each, and notebooks cost $2 each. This situation is represented by the inequality 4x + 2y \u2264 20, where x is the number of binders and y is the number of notebooks. The inequality shows that the total amount spent on binders (4x) plus the total amount spent on notebooks (2y) must be less than or equal to her $20 budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the greatest number of binders Eula can buy, we assume she spends all her money on binders and buys zero notebooks. In the inequality, we set y to 0. This gives us 4x + 2(0) \u2264 20, which simplifies to 4x \u2264 20. Dividing both sides by 4, we find that x \u2264 5. Therefore, the greatest number of binders she can purchase is 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, to find the greatest number of notebooks she can buy, we assume she buys zero binders. We set x to 0 in the inequality. This gives us 4(0) + 2y \u2264 20, which simplifies to 2y \u2264 20. When we divide both sides by 2, we get y \u2264 10. This means the maximum number of notebooks she can buy is 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the final question, we are told Eula buys 7 notebooks. We can calculate the cost of these notebooks, which is 7 multiplied by $2, for a total of $14. We substitute y = 7 into the inequality to find out how many binders she can afford with her remaining money. The inequality becomes 4x + 2(7) \u2264 20, or 4x + 14 \u2264 20. Subtracting 14 from both sides gives 4x \u2264 6. Dividing by 4 gives x \u2264 1.5. Since Eula cannot buy half a binder, the greatest whole number of binders she can buy is 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-2647.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-276692\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct answers are:5101 The problem describes Eula&#8217;s shopping trip with a budget of $20.
