Standing on a lighthouse platform that is 76 feet above the ground, an observer sees a
hot air balloon 100 feet above him on a number line, let 0 represent the position of the
observer, and let the hot air balloon's position be on the positive side of 0.
which number sentence correctly compares the distances between the observer's
position and the ground and the observer's position and the hot-air balloon?

The inequality that is represented by this situation is: $14.99 + $2.75y < $25to find the maximum number of skeins sharon can buy, you will solve the inequality for y.   first subtract the $14.99 that you already spent from the $25.$2.75y  < $10.01then, divide the remaining amount into groups of $2.75 to find how many skeins you can buy.y < 3.64this means she can buy at the most 3 skeins of yarn.
