cookout. Hamburger meat costs $3 per pound, and hot
dogs cost $2 per pound. She wants to spend no more than
$30.
a. Write an inequality to describe the situation.
b. Graph the solutions on a coordinate plane.
C. Give two combinations of pounds of hamburger and
hot dogs that Beverly can buy.

Answer 1

Hamburger meat

• Cost = $2 per pound
• Volume = x pounds
• Total cost = 2x

Hot dogs

• Cost = $3 per pound
• Volume = y pounds
• Total cost = 3y

• Budget = $30

a) Inequality:

• 2x + 3y ≤ 30

b) The graph is attached

c) Combinations are reflected on the graph
