Explanation:

Jada plans to serve milk and healthy cookies for a book club meeting. She is preparing 12 ounces of milk and 4 cookies per person. Including herself, there are 15 people in the club. A package of cookies contains 24 cookies and costs $4.50. A 1-gallon jug of milk contains 128 ounces and costs $3. Let n

represent number of people in the club, m represent the ounces of milk, c represent the

number of cookies, and b represent Jada's budget in dollars.

Select all of the equations that could represent the quantities and constraints in this situation.

Solution

m represent the ounces of milk

There are 15 people in the club

12 ounces of milk per person

m = 12(15)

n represents number of people in the club

n = 15

c represents the number of cookies

She is preparing 4 cookies per person

There are 15 people at the club

c = 4

Where n = 15

c = 4n

c = 4(15)

b represents Jada's budget in dollars

Jada needs

c = 4(15)

= 60 cookies

A package of cookies= 24 cookies

Number of packages needed = 60/24

= 2.5

Approximately 3 packages

Jada needs 3 packages of cookies

A package of cookies = $4.50

m = 12(15)

= 180 ounces of milk

A 1- gallon ounces of milk = 128 ounces and cost $3

Number of gallons needed = 180/128

= 1.406

Jada needs 2 gallons of milk

Jada's budget is

b = 3(4.50) + 2(3)
