Question

halle is planning a party and needs to buy chicken and steaks. one package of chicken costs $7 and steaks cost $4 per pound. she cannot spend more than $40. she knows steak is going to be popular so she wants to buy at least 5 lbs of steak. Based on the prior problem, what are two solutions that would satisfy the inequities? I’m looking for two different options Halle has for the amount of chicken and steak she could buy. In other words, provide two combinations of how many packages of chicken and how many pounds of steak she could buy.

Answer 1

Answer: $18 dollars left

Explanation:

multiply $4 by 5 that gives you $20 then subtract $20 from $40

giving you $20 then divide $20 by seven and you can only get 2 chicken.

then subtract $20 from $40 then subtract that answer by 2 which leaves you with $18

Answer 2

4(5)+7x is greater than or equal to 40
