Question

Anna wants to raise more than $80 for a fundraiser. Anna is selling small fruit baskets for $5 and large fruit baskets for $10. Write an inequality to represent this scenario. Let x represent the number of small fruit baskets and y represent the number of large fruit baskets.

Answer 1

The inequality to represent Anna's scenario is 5x + 10y > 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent the scenario of Anna wanting to raise more than $80 for a fundraiser, we can write the following inequality:

5x + 10y > 80

Here, x represents the number of small fruit baskets sold and y represents the number of large fruit baskets sold. The inequality shows that the total amount earned from selling the small fruit baskets (5x) and the total amount earned from selling the large fruit baskets (10y) must be greater than $80 in order for Anna to raise more than $80 for the fundraiser.
