Question

Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.

Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar.

Let x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce.

Select all that apply.

Choose the inequalities needed to describe the amount of pasta and pasta sauce that Tyler can buy.

x + 3 y ≤ 36
x + 1.5 y ≤ 20
x ≥ 0
x + 3 y ≥ 20
x + 1.5 y ≤ 36
x + 1.5 y ≥ 20
y ≥ 0
x + 3 y ≥ 36

Answer 1

8

Step-by-step explanation:

8 packages of pasta and 8 jars of sauce

Weight = 8(1) + 8(1.5) = 5 + 14 = 19 pounds

Cost = 8(1) + 8(3) = 8 + 24 = $32
