Answer 1

Mrs. Angeles can purchase 20 kilos of pork and 10 kilos of chicken for a total of Php 8,700 or 10 kilos of pork and 20 kilos of chicken for a total of Php 6,600, both options being within her Php 10,000 budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Angeles wants to buy at least 30 kilos of pork and chicken for her restaurant business while spending no more than Php 10,000. With a kilo of pork costing Php 360 and a kilo of chicken costing Php 150, we need to find two combinations of pork and chicken purchases that meet these criteria.

Option 1:

• Buy 20 kilos of pork: 20 kilos x Php 360 = Php 7,200
• Buy 10 kilos of chicken: 10 kilos x Php 150 = Php 1,500
• Total cost = Php 7,200 + Php 1,500 = Php 8,700

Option 2:

• Buy 10 kilos of pork: 10 kilos x Php 360 = Php 3,600
• Buy 20 kilos of chicken: 20 kilos x Php 150 = Php 3,000
• Total cost = Php 3,600 + Php 3,000 = Php 6,600

Both options are within the budget of Php 10,000 and include a total weight of at least 30 kilos of meat as required by Mrs. Angeles for her restaurant business.
