Question

Tony has $20. He wants to buy at least 4 snacks. Hot dogs (x) are $3 each. Peanuts (y are $2 each. Complete the inequalities that represent this situation.

Answer 1

The inequalities tha represent this situation are:

x+y≥4

3x+2y≤20

Explanation:

The first inequality that represents this situation would indicate that the result of adding up the quantity of hot dogs and peanuts has to be greater than or equal to 4, which is:

x+y≥4

The second one would indicate that adding up the result of multiplying the price per hot dog for the number of hot dogs plus the price per peanuts for the number of peanuts has to be less than or equal to 20:

3x+2y≤20

According to this, the answer is that the inequalities tha represent this situation are:

x+y≥4

3x+2y≤20
