Question

A game show contestant cannot spend more than $100 on $0.79 cans of beans and $3.59 boxes of cereal. Which inequality represents the situation, where b is the number of cans of beans and c is the number of boxes of cereal?

Answer 1

i believe it would be 0.79b + 3.59c
`\leq` 100

Explanation:

the price of the number of cans of beans added to the number of boxes of cereal must be less than or equal to $100

0.79b represents the price of the beans multiplied by the amount of cans the contestant buys, and 3.59c represents the price of the cereal multiplied by the amount of boxes the contestant buys
