Question

In a beanbag toss game, Janelle scores 5 points for landing on a round target and 8 points for landing on a square target. She needs more than 50 points to win. Let x represent the number of times Janelle lands on the round target and let y represent the number of times she lands on the square target. Which inequality represents the situation? 5x + 8y > 50 5x + 8y ≥ 50 8x + 5y > 50 8x + 5y < 50

Answer 1

A. 5x + 8y > 50

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = round

y = square

5 points for round so 5x

8 points for square so 8y

5x+8y> 50 ( use greater than since she needs more than 50)
