Question

An event planner, is ordering centerpieces and garlands for a holiday party. Each garland costs $18 and each centerpiece costs $19. The planner has been given a total floral budget of no more than $820. Write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables. x=the number of garlands ordered y=the number of centerpieces ordered

Answer 1

To describe the event planner's budget, we can write the inequality 18x + 19y ≤ 820.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, we can use the given information to write an inequality that describes the event planner's budget. The cost of each garland is $18 and the cost of each centerpiece is $19. Let's assume the planner ordered 'x' garlands and 'y' centerpieces. The total cost of the garlands would be 18x and the total cost of the centerpieces would be 19y. According to the given budget, the total cost should be no more than $820. Therefore, the inequality in standard form would be:

18x + 19y ≤ 820

Answer 2

820=18x+19y because you want to find out how much you'll get from each of them.
