Question

5) Tyace needs at least 40 hot dogs and 40 buns for a cookout. Packages of

hotdogs cost $3.50 and contains 10 hotdogs. Packages of buns cost $2.50 and
contains 8 buns. The maximum amount of money Tyace can spend on hot dogs
and buns is $70. What are possible combinations of packages that Tyace can
buy?

Answer 1

100 hotdogs

Explanation:

he can get 32 hot dogs for just $65. I multiplied 3.5 and 4 (because there was 10 hotdogs in the package and he needs at least 40) and 2.5 and 5 (8 buns). To get 14 (hotdogs) and 12.5 (buns). Then I added those together to get 26.5. Multiplied that by 2 to get 53. then I added 6 (one pack +one pack) to it until I got to 65.

Sorry if this is long I am terrible at explaining my answers

Answer 2

Does she need to spend all the money? Otherwise a possible combination is 4 packs of hot dogs and 5 packs of buns
