Question

Adam can spend a maximum of $252 on office supplies. Each ream of paper costs $6. Each ink cartridge costs $18. Which of the following graphs represents the possible combinations of paper and ink cartridges that he may buy? *Graph pictures below*

Answer 1

Your answer is A.
If she just bought ink cartridges she could buy 14.
252 / 18 = 14
If she just bought paper she could buy 42 reams.
252 / 6 = 42

Answer 2

Option A The graph in the attached figure

Explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of ream of paper

y-----> the number of ink cartridge

we know that

`6x+18y\leq 252` ----> inequality that represent the possible combinations of paper and ink cartridges that Adam may buy

using a graphing tool

the solution is the triangular shaded area
