Answer:
Option D. 1.29x + 1.35y ≤ 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Nick is making a fruit salad.
He buys apples per pound for = $1.29
He buys oranges per pound for = $1.35
He spend no more than $12.00 or we can say less than equal to $12
Let x represent the number of pounds of apples that Nick buys and y represent the number of pounds of oranges.
Cost of x pounds of apples = $1.29x
Cost of y pounds of oranges = $1.35y
Total cost = 1.29x + 1.35y
Total cost should be less than equal to $12.00
Therefore, inequality will be 1.29x + 1.35y ≤ 12
Option D. is the answer.
