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!!

The table shows transactions from five different bank accounts. Fill in the missing numbers. ( THE IMAGE ATTACHED PLEASE)
velikii [3]

Answer:

Part 1) A=80

Part 2) B=-25

Part 3) C=-40

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The old account balance plus the transaction amount is equal to the new account balance

The transaction amount can be a positive number (example a deposit) or a negative number (example a withdrawal)

Part 1) Find the value of A

432+A=512

solve for A

subtract 432 both sides

A=512-432=80

Part 2) Find the value of B

75-100=B

solve for B

-25=B

Rewrite

B=-25

Part 3) Find the value of C

C+52=12

solve for C

subtract 52 both sides

C=12-52

C=-40
