Question

You have at most $80 to spend on books and music. You want to spend less than $25 on music and at most $65 on books. Let x represent music and y represent books. Which system represents the situation?

Answer 1

25x + 65y = 80

Explanation:

Total amount to be spent = $80

Maximum amount to be spent on music = $25

Maximum amount to be spent on books = $65

Let x represent music and y represent books

x(25) + y(65) = 80

25x + 65y = 80

The equation that represent the situation is

25x + 65y = 80
