Question

Freddy is buying wings and nachos for a party. A box of 10 wings cost $10.00. Nachos cost $4.00 per tray. He must spend less that $40.00 on the wings and nachos.

Using x to represent each box of wings and y to represent each tray of nachos, create an inequality that correctly represents the possible number of boxes of wings and trays of nachos Freddy can be and still be within his budget.

Answer 1

10x + 4y < 40

Explanation:

The creation of an inequality is as follows"

The cost of the 10 wings box = $10

The cost of nachos = $4 per tray

And, the amount that can be incurred less is $40

Based on the information,

The equation would be

10x + 4y < 40

Hence, the inequality equation is 10x + 4y<40
