A company has a $150 budget to provide lunch for its 20 employees. The options are to provide either roast beef sandwiches, which cost $5 apiece, or tuna sandwiches, which also cost $5 apiece. The company also wants to use the entire budget. Suppose r represents the number of roast beef sandwiches it provides and t represents the number of tuna sandwiches. Which statement is correct?

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The company cannot provide lunch for all 20 employees and use the entire budget because there is no solution to the system of equations r + t = 20 and 5 r + 5 t = 150.
