Final answer:
To determine the combination of snacks and drinks within the budget, subtract the ticket cost from the total amount. Set up an inequality to represent the possible combinations and find pairs of 'x' and 'y' that satisfy it.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine what combination of snacks and drinks are possible given the remaining money, we need to subtract the cost of tickets from the total amount of money. Each ticket costs $7, so 2 tickets would cost $14. To find out how much money is left after buying tickets, we subtract $14 from $70 to get $56.
Since snacks cost $2 each and drinks cost $2.25 each, we can set up an inequality to represent the possible combinations:
2x + 2.25y ≤ 56
where 'x' represents the number of snacks and 'y' represents the number of drinks. We need to find pairs of 'x' and 'y' that satisfy this inequality.
For example, if we have 0 snacks and 0 drinks, the cost would be $0. If we have 1 snack and 0 drinks, the cost would be $2. If we have 0 snacks and 1 drink, the cost would be $2.25. We can continue this pattern to find all possible combinations that are within the budget.
Some possible combinations include:
- 2 snacks and 13 drinks
- 14 snacks and 0 drinks
- 10 snacks and 6 drinks
