Question

Adrian and his children went into a grocery store and will buy apples and

mangos. Each apple costs $2.25 and each mango costs $2. Adrian has a total
of $25 to spend on apples and mangos. Write an inequality that would
represent the possible values for the number of apples purchased, a, and the
number of mangos purchased, m.

Answer 1

We can represent the number of apples purchased by Adrian as the variable "a" and the number of mangos purchased by Adrian as the variable "m". The total cost of apples can be represented as $2.25 * a, and the total cost of mangos can be represented as $2 * m. The inequality that represents the possible values for the number of apples and mangos that Adrian can purchase is $2.25 * a + 2 * m <= 25.
