Question

Which of the following is an inequality that represents the following scenario: Peter is at a local burger shop. He wants to purchase burgers and fries from the store. The cashier tells him that burgers are $5 each and fries are $2 each. Peter has only $15 to spend on food. Let y represent the number of fries purchased and let x represent the number of burgers purchased

Answer 1

5x+2y >/= 5

Answer: 2 burgers and 2 fries if he has only $15

Burgers=$5 each

Fries=$2 each

5+5=10

2+2=4

which comes out to $14 so the max he can get is 2 each

Answer 2

5x+2y >/= 5

*>/= : it's the greater than or equal sign
