Peyton and her children went into a restaurant and where they sell drinks for $3 each

and tacos for $4 each. Peyton has $40 to spend and must buy at least 10 drinks and
tacos altogether. If Peyton decided to buy 4 drinks, determine all possible values for
the number of tacos that she could buy. Your answer should be a comma separated
list of values. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Answer:

7,6

Explanation:

So in total Peyton must buy 10 items. Since she's already buying 4 drinks. We need to find the amount of tacos the max amount of tacos she can buy are 7 tacos and the minimum is 6 because if we bought less than 6 it wouldn't have met the criteria for 10 items minimum. And if we passed 7 tacos it would go past the limit of how much money Peyton has. I hope this helped:)
