Question

Ryan and his children went into a bakery and will buy cupcakes and donuts.

Each cupcake costs $4.50 and each donut costs $1.75. Ryan has a total of $40
to spend on cupcakes and donuts. Write an inequality that would represent
the possible values for the number of cupcakes purchased, c, and the number
of donuts purchased, d.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: $4.50+1.75/40=6.4

Answer 2

The inequality which represents the possible values for the number of cupcakes and donuts is : 4.50c + 1.75d = 450

Let :

• cupcakes = c
• donut = d
• Total amount spent = 450

Expressing the scenario as an inequality :

4.50c + 1.75d = 450

Therefore, the inequality which represents the possible values for the number of cupcakes and donuts is : 4.50c + 1.75d = 450
