Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!Matthew is planning a party and found pizzas for $5 each and drinks for $1 each.

Write an expression that represents how much he will spend. (p = pizza, d = drinks)

How much will he spend if he buys 4 pizzas and 5 drinks?

Can he afford 8 pizzas and 10 drinks if he has $45 to spend?

Give any combination of the # of pizzas and drinks he can afford if he has $50 to spend.

Answer 1

m=money spent
a. 5p+1d=m
b. 20+5=m=25 ($25)
c. 40+10=50. 45 is not greater than or equal to 50, so no.
d. 5p+1d≤50
25+6≤50
He could afford five pizzas and six drinks.
