Question

Rasheed is buying wings and quesadillas for a party. A package of wings costs $8. A package of quesadillas costs $10. He must spend no more than $160. Rasheed’s freezer will hold a maximum of 20 packages of wings and quesadillas.

If Rasheed buys 7 packages of wings, what is the maximum number of packages of quesadillas he can buy?

Answer 1

10 is maximum of packages of quesadillas.

Explanation:

x= number of wings

y= number of quesadillas

x+y=20

8x+10y=$160

if x=7

then 7+y=20

20-7=14=y

14*10=140

8*7=56

Rasheed can't buy 20 packages, since it'll go over his budget.

So 160-56=104

And 104/10= 10 minimum

10*10=100

100+56=160

So he can buy 10 packages of quesadillas.
