Question

Which of the following is an inequality that represents the following scenario: Peter is at a local pizza shop. He wants to purchase pizza pies and breadsticks for a party. The cashier tells him that pizza pies are $10 each and breadsticks are $3 each. Peter cannot spend more than $100. Let y represent the number of pizza pies purchased and let x represent the number of breadsticks purchased. 10x + 3y ≤ 100 10x + 3y ≥ 100 3x + 10y ≤ 100 3x + 10y ≥ 100

Answer 1

The correct answer should be

10x + 3y less than or equal to 100

Explanation:

Answer 2

10x + 3y ≤ 100

pizza pies - 10 each
breadsticks - 3 each
100 is the most he can spend, so it needs to be greater than or equal to (≤) the cost of the pizza and breadsticks together
