Question

Charisse is buying two different types of cereals from the bulk bins at the store. Granola costs $2.29 per pound and muesli costs $3.75 per pound. She has $7.00. Use x as the amount of granola and y as the amount of muesli.
a. Write and graph an inequality for the amounts of each cereal she can buy.
b. How many pounds of granola can she buy if she buys 1.5 pounds of muesli?

Answer 1

Even though im not giving you grapahs, I can explain you the situation and I can shed you light inot this. Pay attention. Giveen the data we are going to use it like this  2.29x + 3.75y <= 7.00. Remember, you can't spend more money than 7.00, so whatever you buy has to be within 7.00$ or equal 7.00$. Since you're buying in pounds, and the amount varies, you have a variable there to indicate the price of each product depending on how many pounds of it you buy. Now, what you need to do is use this equation to graph and also solving part b by substituting in that value for y. I hope this can help you
