Question

Dylan is hosting a party she buys pumpkins 20 dollars each and balloons 2 dollars each she has a budget of 250 if x represents pumpkins and y represents balloons write an inequality that represents all possible ways she could buy a pumpkin and balloons what is the max number of ballons she could buy

Answer 1

Dylan's budget is $250, and she is buying pumpkins for $20 each and balloons for $2 each. We can represent the total cost of the pumpkins as 20x and the total cost of the balloons as 2y. The inequality that represents all possible ways she could buy pumpkins and balloons within her budget is:

20x + 2y <= 250

To find the maximum number of balloons she could buy, we can use the equation above and set x = 0, and then solve for y.

20(0) + 2y <= 250

2y <= 250

y <= 125

The maximum number of balloons she could buy is 125.
