Answer:

Multiply the term outside of the parentheses by each term in the parentheses. To do this, you are essentially distributing the outer term into the inner terms. Multiply the term outside the parentheses by the first term in the parentheses. Then multiply it by the second term. If there are more than two terms, keep distributing the term until there are no terms left. Keep whatever operation (plus or minus) is in the parentheses

Andrea is at the grocery store buying fruit for a smoothie stand. She needs 7 boxes of raspberries for every 5 bunches of banana

Degger [83]

Answer:

The greatest number of bunches of bananas that Andrea can buy is 15 and the greatest number of boxes of raspberries that Andrea can buy is 21 to maintain the ratio 7:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---->the greatest number of boxes of raspberries that Andrea can buy

y ---->the greatest number of bunches of bananas that Andrea can buy

we know that

$100\%+8\%=106\%=108/100=1.08$ ---> sales tax

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{7}{5}$

$x=\frac{7}{5}y$ ----> equation A

$1.08[2.50x+3.00y]\leq 135$ ----> inequality B

substitute equation A in the inequality B

$1.08[2.50(\frac{7}{5}y)+3.00y]\leq 135$

solve for y

Multiply by 5 both sides to remove the fraction

$18.9y+16.2y\leq 675$

$35.1y\leq 675$

$y\leq 19.23$

The maximum value of y is 19

Find the value of x

replace the value of y in equation A until you get an integer value that satisfies the ratio 7:5

For y=19

$x=\frac{7}{5}(19)$

$x=26.6$

For y=18

$x=\frac{7}{5}(18)$

$x=25.2$

For y=17

$x=\frac{7}{5}(17)$

$x=23.8$

For y=16

$x=\frac{7}{5}(16)$

$x=22.4$

For y=15

$x=\frac{7}{5}(15)$

$x=21$

therefore

The greatest number of of bunches of bananas that Andrea can buy is 15 and the greatest number of boxes of raspberries that Andrea can buy is 21 to maintain the ratio 7:5

<u><em>Verify the inequality B</em></u>

$1.08[2.50(21)+3.00(15)]\leq 135$
