Question

Skyler is buying wings and quesadillas for a party. A package of wings costs $8.00. A package of quesadillas cost $10.00. He must spend no more than $160.00. Skyler's freezer will hold a maximum of 20 packages of wings and quesadillas. Write a system of linear inequalities to represent the situation.

Answer 1

The system of inequalities are;

q + w ≤ 20

8w + 10q ≤ 160

Explanation:

Let the number of wigs be w and the number of quesadillas be q

Since we have a maximum of 20 packages;

then;

q + w ≤ 20

Let’s now work with the prices

price of w wings is 8 * w =$8w

price of q quesadillas is 10 * q = 10q

The maximum amount to spend is $160

Thus, the addition will be;

8w + 10q ≤ 160
