Jelly beans - $0.98 per pound
chocolate drops - $0.67 per pounds
Terri's bag = 2.1 pounds and $1.56
p = represents the pounds jelly beans.
c = represents the pounds in chocolate drops
p + c = 2.1
0.98p + 0.67c = 1.56
c = 2.1 - p ; number of pounds of chocolate drops
0.98p + 0.67(2.1 - p) = 1.56
0.98p + 1.41 - 0.67p = 1.56
0.98p - 0.67p = 1.56 - 1.41
0.31p = 0.15
p = 0.15/0.31
p = 0.48 pounds of jelly beans
c = 2.1 - 0.48
c = 1.62 pounds of chocolate drops.
An integer is a whole number, so choose three non whole numbers, and three negative non whole numbers, and plot them on the line. I recommend something easy like 3.50 or -2.25 or something that is easy to plot.
