Solution

The inequality that can be used to find d, the number of doughnuts Shirley could have bought if she also wants them in one carryout box is:

0.50d + 1 ≤ 10

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. Each doughnut costs $0.50, so the total cost for d doughnuts is 0.50d.
  2. The carryout box costs $1, so we add this to the total cost of the doughnuts.
  3. Shirley has 10tospend,sothetotalcost(doughnuts+box)shouldbelessthanorequalto10 to spend, so the total cost (doughnuts + box) should be less than or equal to 10.
  4. Therefore, the inequality that represents this situation is 0.50d + 1 ≤ 10.
