Question

Jason is buying wings and hot dogs for a party. He can get pre-cooked wings at a local restaurant for $0.50 per wing with a purchase of 2 dozen or more. Hot dogs, including the bun and condiments, are $1 each if you buy 10 or more. He budgeted $120 for the party, but has already spent $80 on other things?

Write a system of 3 inequalities that model this situation?

Answer 1

w ≥ 24

h ≥ 10

0.50w +1.00h +80 ≤ 120

Explanation:

We can let w and h represent the numbers of wings and hot dogs Jason can buy. Then some inequalities are ...

w ≥ 24

h ≥ 10

0.50w +1.00h +80 ≤ 120
