    Karen bought a bucket of popcorn at the movies for $5. She also bought some candy for $2 each. Karen has to spend less than $15 on the popcorn and candy. Which inequality can be used to find c, the number of candies that Karen could have bought?

    Since the candy cost is the product of price and quantity, we have:
    2c + 5 < 15

    To solve this inequality for c, we type it in our math engine and we get:
    c < 5
