Question
Valerie is ordering salads and drinks for her friends. Salads cost 3 each, and there is a 50. She buys 3 salads, and wants to figure out the maximum number of drinks she can buy.
If x = number of salads and y = number of drinks, which of the following inequalities could you use to answer the problem?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Solution
The correct inequality to use to answer the problem is A. 7x + 3y + 5 ≤ 50. This inequality takes into account the cost of the salads (7x), the cost of the drinks (3y), and the delivery charge (+5), and states that the total cost must be less than or equal to the amount of money Valerie has ($50).
