Question

URGENT PLEASE HELP!!!!

You can spend at most $10 on apples and grapes for a fruit salad. Grapes cost $2.50 per pound and apples cost $1 per pound. Write an inequality For the amount of grapes and apples you can buy.

Answer 1

Let the variable g represent how many pounds of grapes you can buy and the variable a represent how many pounds of apples you can buy.

You can spend AT MOST $10, meaning that you can spend less than or equal to this amount. (Includes the cost of both grapes AND apples)

So your inequality would be:

2.5g + 1a ≤ 10
