b) 6 large bags and 10 small bags

c) 9 large bags and 6 small bags

d) 2 large bags and 11 small bags

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Let number of large bags be x

Let number of large bags be x

Teddy will buy at least 15 bags of ice for the graduation picnic.

Each large bag of ice costs $4.00, and each small bag of ice costs $2.50. He will spend up to $50 on ice. The set of inequalities that describe this scenario are

4x + 2.5y lesser than or equal 50

x + y greater than 15

The combination of bags of ice that Teddy can buy is

b) 6 large bags and 10 small bags

From the option b, the total number of large and small bags is greater than 15 and the total cost is 49( it doesn't exceed 50)
