Hamburgers cost $2.50 and cheeseburgers cost $3.50 at a snack bar. Ben has sold no more than $30 worth of hamburgers and cheeseb

urgers in the first hour of business. Let x represent the number of hamburgers and y represent the number of cheeseburgers. The inequality 2.50x + 3.50y < 30 represents the food sales in the first hour. If Ben has sold 4 cheeseburgers, what is the maximum value of hamburgers Ben could have sold?

Given 2.50x + 3.50y < 30.

Where x represent the number of hamburgers and y represent the number of cheeseburgers.

Now question is to find the maximum value of hamburgers Ben could have sold when he has sold 4 cheeseburgers.

So, first step is to plug in y=4 in the given inequality. So,

2.50x+3.50(4)<30

2.50x+14 <30

2.50x<30- 14 Subtracting 14 from each sides.

2.50x< 16

\frac{2.50x}{2.50} Dividing each sides by 2.50.

x<6.4

Now x being number of hamburgers must be an integer , so tha maximum value of x can be 6,

thus x = 6 hamburgers

So, the maximum value of hamburgers Ben could have sold is 6*2.5=$15

Hope this helps!!

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS
Alik [6]

Answer:

  • x + y ≤ 600
  • 5x +7y ≥ 3500
  • it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We can write two inequalities, one for the number of tickets, and one for the necessary revenue.

  x + y ≤ 600 . . . . . . . limit imposed by available seating

  5x +7y ≥ 3500 . . . . required revenue to meet expenses

__

b) For x = 330, the first inequality puts one limit on y:

  330 +y ≤ 600

  y ≤ 270

And the second inequality puts another limit on y:

  5(330) +7y ≥ 3500

  7y ≥ 1850 . . . . subtract 1650

  y ≥ 264.3 . . . . divide by 7

The number of tickets that must be sold to meet expenses is 265, which is less than the number that can be sold, 270. It is possible to meet expenses.
