Question

A movie theater is giving away a souvenir poster to any customer with a concession stand receipt that exceeds $60. The

theater sells a bag of popcorn for $6 and bottle of soda for $3.50. Let x represent the number of bags of popcorn, and let y
represent the number of bottles of soda. Which linear inequality can be used to find the quantities of popcorn and soda that
should be purchased to receive a poster?
6x+3.5y 260
6x+3.5y > 60
by+3.5x260
6y+3.5x> 60

Answer 1

6x + 3.5y is greater than 60

Explanation:

Cost of x bags of popcorn = 6x

Cost of y bottles of soda = 3.5y

Total cost = 6x + 3.5y

To get a souvenir poster, this cost must exceed 60
