Question

Josh is going to the store to buy candy. Bags of candy corn cost $3 and bags of chocolate cost $5. He needs to buy at least 20 bags of candy and he cannot spend more than $60. Write a system of linear inequalities to model the situation.

Answer 1

x + y ≥ 20

3x + 5y > 60

Explanation:

Let

Bags of candy corn = x

Bags of chocolate = y

Cost of bags of candy corn = $3

Cost of bags of chocolate = $5

He needs to buy at least 20 bags of candy and he cannot spend more than $60

system of linear inequalities to model the situation.

x + y ≥ 20

3x + 5y > 60

The system ot inequalities which models the situation

x + y ≥ 20

3x + 5y > 60
