coach Jules bought more than five bats. Some were wood, and some were composite. The wood bats cost $49 each, and the composite bats cost $100 each. Coach Jules spent less than $400. Write the system of equations that could be used to represent this situation. Let w stand for wood, and c stand for bats.

Answer 1

• w + c > 5
• 49w + 100c < 400

Explanation:

One inequality represents the number of bats. Their total number is more than 5:

w + c > 5

The other inequality represents the money spent. The total amount is less than $400.

49w + 100c < 400
