Question

The drama club you are part of is hosting a pancake breakfast. You are in charge of buying the sausage, which costs $5 per pound, and bacon, which costs $4 per pound. The meat budget you are given totals $500 dollars. The inequality 5x + 4y ≤ 500 represents the possible combinations of pounds of sausage (x) and bacon (y) you can buy.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here,

bacon = x

sausage=y

cost of x = $4 per pound

cost of y = $5 per pound

total budget = $500

60 pound x price= 60*4 = $240

52 pound y price=52*5 = $260

total = $240+$260 = $500

so, 60 pound bacon & 52 pound sausage are the right answer
