Question

Please help answer this question Minni has to buy stickers, erasers, and a pencil. She can only spend $4. A sticker costs $0.35, an eraser costs $0.99, and a pencil costs $0.59. Can Minni buy 2 stickers and 2 erasers? [Use the inequality 0.35x + 0.99y + 0.59 ≤ 4] (1 point) Select one: a. Yes, because the total will be $3.27 b. Yes, because the total will be $1.93 c. No, because the total will be $4.27 d. No, because the total will be $5.93

Answer 1

A. yes, because the total will be $3.27

Explanation:

0.35x + 0.99y + 0.59 ≤ 4

0.35(2) + 0.99(2) + 0.59 ≤ 4

0.70 + 1.98 + 0.59 ≤ 4

3.27 ≤ 4

Answer 2

Answer: A

Since you already have an equation just put in how many stickers and erasers she wants to get: 0.35(2)+0.99(2)+0.59≤4.

Then you multiply: .35(2)=.70. .99(2)=1.98.

Then add: .70+1.98+.59=3.27, so yes she can since 3.27 is less than 4 so the answer is A
