Question

Help me plz

The stage manager of a school musical is trying to figure out how many sandwiches he can order with the $83 he collected from the cast and crew. Sandwiches cost $5.99 each, so he lets x represent the number of sandwiches he will order and writes 5.99x < 83. He solves this to two decimal places and gets x < 13.86.

Which of these are valid statements about this situation? Select all that apply.
1) He can call the sandwich shop and order exactly 13.86 sandwiches.
2) He can round up and order 14 sandwiches.
3) He can order 12 sandwiches.
4) He can order 9.5 sandwiches.
5) He can order 2 sandwiches.
6) He can order -4 sandwiches.

Justify your answer(s).

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) it is not this answer because you cant order 13.86 sandwiches. it has to be a whole number.

2) Not this answer. If he bought 14 sandwhichs hed have to pay 83.86 and he doesnt have 36 cents xtra.

3) He CAN order 12 sandwhiches. if he has $83 and if you bought twelve sandwiches he would spend $71.88 which is still within the range he can buy from.

4) He CANNOT order .5 of a sandwhich so i wouldnt select this one.

5) He CAN order 2 sandwhiches. he has enough money for that

6) he CANNOT order negative amount of sandwhiches.
