Question

Bob and Maria go to the fruit stand together. They have

at most $21 to spend on fruit to make muffins.
Blueberries cost $4 per pound and strawberries cost $3
per pound. They need more than 3 pounds of fruit.
Bob says they should buy 1 pound of blueberries and 3
pounds of strawberries.
Maria says they should buy 2 pounds of each.
Are both of these possible?

Answer 1

Yes because Bob' total would cost $13 and Maria's would cost $14 which would both be less than the $21 they had to spend.
