Question

Which inequality represents this situation?

Nick is making a fruit salad. He buys apples for $1.29 per pound and oranges for $1.35 per pound. He spends no more than $12.

Let x represent the number of pounds of apples that Nick buys. Let y represent the number of pounds of oranges that Nick buys.

1.29x + 1.35y ≤ 12

1.29x + 1.35y ≥ 12

1.29x + 1.35y < 12

1.29x + 1.35y > 12

Answer 1

It's the first option:

1.29x + 1.35y ≤ 12

Hope this helps!
