Question

Renee is buying Halloween candy. She wants to buy candy bars and lollipops and spend no more than $28. Each candy bar costs $0.45 and each lollipop costs $0.25. Which inequality represents the possible combinations of x, the number of candy bars, and y, the number of lollipops Renee can buy?

Answer 1

The inequality that represents the possible combinations of candy bars and  lollipops that he can buy is given by:

$0.45x + 0.25y \leq 28$

What is the inequality that models this situation?

The total price can be no more than $28, hence:

$T \leq 28$

Each candy bar costs $0.45 and each lollipop costs $0.25. x is the number of candy bars and y of lollipops. Hence, the total price is given by:

T = 0.45x + 0.25y.

Hence, the inequality that models the situation is:

$0.45x + 0.25y \leq 28$
