Question

When a snack bar opens, the cash register contains at least 50 dollars in $1 and $5 bills. Which of these inequalities represents this situation, where x is the number of $1 bills and y is the number of $5 bills?

Answer 1

Answer:x + 5y is greater than or equal too $50

Explanation:

If x is equal to the amount of $1 then there is no need for a coefficient. Being that y is represented as $5 there needs to be a coefficient of because it’s five dollars times however many you have. Then it is greater than or equal to $50 because the problem states there is at least $50 in the register.
