Please answer ASAP!!

Suppose your office gives you $200 to buy computer disks. The 550-MB disks cost $7 each. The 650-MB disks cost $8 each. Write the inequality that describes how many of each kind of disk you can buy.

Answer 1

7x + 8y ≤ 200

Explanation:

Let's say x is the number of 550-MB disks and y is the number of 650-MB disks. Then, the cost of x 550-MB disks is 7x dollars, and the cost of y 650-MB disks is 8y dollars.

The total cost cannot exceed $200, so we have:

7x + 8y ≤ 200

This inequality represents the maximum number of disks of each type that can be bought with the budget of $200.
