Question

Members of a high school sports team are selling boxes of popcorn and boxes of pretzels for a fundraiser. They earn $2 for every box of popcorn they sell and $5 for every box of pretzels. The members want to earn at least $500 from all sales. Let x represent the numbers of boxes of popcorn and let y represent the number of boxes of pretzels sold

Answer 1

The solution in the attached figure

Explanation:

x------> the numbers of boxes of popcorn sold

y-----> the number of boxes of pretzels sold

we know that

`2x+5y\geq 500` ----> inequality that represent the situation

using a graphing tool

The solution is the shaded area above the solid line
`2x+5y=500` between the positive values of x and the positive values of y
