Question

Bryan is buying notebooks and pens at an office supply store. Notebooks cost $3.59 and pens cost $1.49. He can spend up to $13 on these items. Let x represent the number of notebooks. Let y represent the number of pens. Enter an inequality that represents the situation. Please help!! :)

Answer 1

3.59x+1.49y=13.00
that should help

Answer 2

3.59x + 1.49y ≤ 13

Explanation:

Let x represents the number of notebooks and y represents the number of pens.

If notebooks cost $3.59 and pens cost $1.49 then total cost of the pens and notebooks will be = 3.59x + 1.49y

Bryan spends up to $13 means that total expenditure must be less than equal to $13

Then inequality will be

3.59x + 1.49y ≤ 13
