Question

At lunch, Kira eats either a burrito containing 490 milligrams of sodium or a peanut butter sandwich containing 700 milligrams of sodium. Her doctor told her to reduce her sodium to no more than 4,000 milligrams per week. Which inequality represents x, the number of microwave burritos, and y, the number of peanut butter sandwiches, she can eat each week?


490x + 700y < 4000  

490x + 700y ≤ 4000   490x + 700y  > 4000   490x + 700y ≥ 4000

Answer 1

answer is b

Explanation:

Answer 2

If
x is the number of microwave burritos
y is the number of peanut butter sandwiches
4000 is the maximum allowable sodium intake

Then, the inequality is:
490x + 700 y ≤ 4000

The correct answer is the second option.
