1) It's February and you go to the store to buy some food for your pets. You have a Great

Dane and a Savannah cat. The Dane eats 3 times as much as your cat so his food
cost $60 for the big bag and he eats that in one week. The Savannah cats food cost
$15 a bag and it lasts him one week as well. You are there to buy food for the month
and have no more than $300 total to spend. Can you afford a month's worth of food?
a) If you bought the cat 6 weeks worth of food, how many weeks worth can you
buy your Great Dane?
