Question

John and his friends went to a restaurant. They calculated the total price of the food items to be $\$9$. They only had a budget of not more than $\$9$. Can they order all the food items they selected?

• A. Yes
• B. No

Answer 1

The correct option is A Yes

Let $\text{p}$ represent the price of all the food items which is $\$9$ and $\text{b}$ represent the budget.

Given, $\text{b}$ is not more than $\$9$ which means the maximum value of the number $\text{b}$ is $9$.

Hence, , $\text{b}$ can have any value which is less than or equal to $9$.
If budget is greater than or equal to the price of all the food items, they can order all the food items.
Maximum value of , $\text{b}=\$9$
Price of all food items $=\text{p}=\$9$
As , $\text{b}$ = $\text{p}$, they can order all the food items.
