Each 12-pack of soda can cost $5.00 , and each 8-slice pizza cost $8.00. micala wants to be fair and give each guest the same number of pizza slices and the same number of soda cans. Using S for the 12-packs of soda and P for the 8-slice pizzas, which of the inequalities below can be used to describe her options?

A. 200<6P(8.00)+4S(5.00)

B. 200<6P(8.00)-4S(5.00)

C. 200>6P(8.00)-4S(5.00)

D. 200>6P(8.00)+4S(5.00)

Answer 1

multiply 6 by 8 and 4 by 5 and add them to get the total cost of the soda and pizza

D is the correct equation

Answer 2

The answer to this question would be: D. 200>6P(8.00)+4S(5.00)


Michaela is planning a pizza party for 48 people and she uses 12-pack of soda and 8-slice pizza. That means the pack of soda she needs would be:
48 people/ (12soda/pack)= 4 pack

Then, number the pizza she needs:
48 people/ 8 (slice/pizza)= 6 pizza

She has $200 so the price she can afford should be lower than that. The function would be:
the money she has > number of pizza(price of pizza) + number of soda(price of soda)
200>6P(8.00)+4S(5.00)
