Question

Darcy's buying apples and oranges for a large for basket to give away as a door prize at a charity event apples cost $0.24 each and oranges cost $0.80 each she has $12 to spend and would like to purchase at least 20 piece of fruit Turtle write a system of linear inequalities to represent the situation then graph

Answer 1

Let a= number of apples and o= number of oranges.


`a + o \geq20`
because she wants the total number of fruit to be at least 20.


`.24a + .80o \leq12`
because each apple costs $0.24 and each orange is $0.80. She cannot spend more than $12.
