Question

Ms. Jones is ordering pizzas for the school dance. To keep things simple, she plans on only ordering two types, cheese and pepperoni. Each cheese pizza costs $10 and each pepperoni pizza costs $13. The number of cheese pizzas should be more than twice the number of pepperoni pizzas. The school dance budget will allow for no more than $200 to pay for the pizzas. This situation can be modeled by the following system of inequalities.

Which of the following statements represents the given situation?

Answer 1

you multiply by two times for 10 and 13

Answer 2

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
x = cheese pizza
y = pepperoni pizza
The system of equations is:
"Each cheese pizza costs $ 10 and each pepperoni pizza costs $ 13 ... I have school dance budget will allow for no more than $ 200 to pay for the pizzas"
10x + 13y <= 200
"The number of cheese pizzas should be more than twice the number of pepperoni pizzas"
x> 2y
Answer:
The situation is represented by:
10x + 13y <= 200
x> 2y
