Question

freddy is buying wings and nachos for a party. a box of 10 wings cost 7.00. nachos cost 4.00 per tray. he must spend less than 40.00 on 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 buy and still be within his budget

Answer 1

7x + 4y < 40

Explanation:

each box of wings cost $7 and he buys x boxes, so

cost of wings = 7x

Now,

each tray of nachos is $4 and he buys y trays, so

cost of nachos = 4y

His budget limit is 40 dollars, so his total cost must be LESS THAN 40, thus we can write the inequality shown below:

7x + 4y < 40
