Question

(Please answer) Octavia is going to buy milkshakes for her friends. Small milkshakes cost $2.50 and large milkshakes cost $6.00. She needs to buy at least 20 milkshakes and she can spend no more than $90. How many small milkshakes Octavia should buy to serve her friends but stay on budget?

Octavia should buy less than 8 milkshakes.


Octavia should buy at least 8 small milkshakes.


Octavia should buy less than 12 milkshakes.


Octavia should buy at least 12 small milkshakes.

Answer 1

Explanation:

In this scenario, Octavia should buy at least 12 small milkshakes. At $2.50 each small milkshake, buying 12 would be a total of $30. Since she needs to buy atleast 20 total milkshakes, she would need to buy 8 large milkshakes which at $6 each would cost her a total of $48. Together this would sum up to be $78 for the 20 milkshakes which would mean that Octavia is still under her budget.
