Larry's lemons is a street vendor business that sells lemonade and lemon bars. A cup of lemonade sells for $2 and a lemon bar sells for $1.50. When all related business expenses are included, a cup of lemonade costs $0.25 to prepare and a lemon bar costs $0.20 to prepare. Last Monday, one of the vendors selling Larry's Lemons sold at least $500 worth of lemonade and lemon bars and its expenses were no more than $100. At least 150 cups of lemonade were sold. Let x be the number of cups of lemonade sold last Monday and y be the number of lemon bars sold last Monday. Which ordered pair representing a combination of cups of lemonade and lemon bars could have been sold last Monday and make sense in the context of the situation?

x = the number of cups of lemonade
y = the number of lemon bars

2x + 1.5y = 500

0.25x + 0.2y = 100


I dont know what ordered pair you're talking about but those are the equations.
