BELLOW!!
Explanation:
To determine the number of apples and persimmons Joe can buy with $10, let's set up the inequalities.
Let x represent the number of apples Joe can buy, and y represent the number of persimmons.
The cost of each apple is $0.99, so the cost of x apples would be 0.99x dollars.
The cost of each persimmon is $0.79, so the cost of y persimmons would be 0.79y dollars.
Since Joe has $10, we can set up the inequality:
0.99x + 0.79y ≤ 10
This inequality ensures that the total cost of the apples and persimmons Joe buys does not exceed $10.
