Question

Cheryl plans to bake cookies tomorrow and needs to purchase chocolate chips and pecans for no more than $25 total. Chocolate chips are $2 per pound and pecans are $5 per pound. Which of the following graphs correctly represents the scenario?

Answer 1

The inequality that correctly represents this scenario is given as follows:

$2x + 5y \leq 25$

The graph is given at the end of the question.

What is a system of inequalities?

A system of inequalities is when two or more variables are related, and inequalities are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given as follows:

• Variable x: number of chocolate chips purchased.

• Variable y: number of pecans sold.

Chocolate chips are $2 per pound and pecans are $5 per pound. She wants to spend at most $25, hence:

$2x + 5y \leq 25$
