Question

An office administrator has an office-supply budget of $150. The office administrator will purchase folders, which are $2.15 each, and notebooks, which are $4.60 each. Which inequality represents the constraint on the number of folders f and notebooks n the office administrator can purchase?

A 2.15f+4.60n<1502.15f+4.60n<150

B 2.15f+4.60n≤1502 point 1 5 f plus 4 point 6 0 n is less than or equal to 150

C 4.6f+2.15n>1504 point 6 f plus 2 point 1 5 n is greater than 150

D 2.15f+4.60n≥150

Answer 1

Given :

Price per folder = $2.15 .

Price per notebook = $4.60 .

The supply budget for this meeting is $150.

To Find :

Inequality represents the constraint on the number of folders f and notebooks n the office administrator can purchase.

Solution :

Let, number of folders and notebooks is f and n.

So, price of buying f and n number of folders and notebooks are :

P = 2.15f + 4.60n

Now, it is given that P ≤ $150 .

So,

2.15f + 4.60n ≤ 150

Hence, this is the required solution.
