Answer:
i) Number of people in club = 12
ii) 96 ounces of fruit punch for 12people
iii) 24 ounces of cheese for 12 people
iv) Priya's budget for poetry club meeting in dollars = $7.87
Step-by-step explanation:
We are not given the options for the equations that could represent the quantities and constraints in this situation. We can tell we are to represent the information given above.
Number of people in the club = 12
8 ounces of fruit punch per person
For 12 people = 12×8 = 96 ounces of fruit punch
2 ounces of cheese per person
For 12 people = 12×2 = 24 ounces of cheese
A package of cheese = 16 ounces
The costs for 1package = $3.99
The costs for 16 ounces of cheese = $3.99
The cost for 24 ounces of cheese = (24×3.99)/16 = 5.985
The cost for 24 ounces of cheese = $5.99
One-gallon jug of fruit punch = 128 ounces
The cost of One-gallon jug of fruit punch = $2.50
The costs of 128 ounces of fruit punch = $2.50
The costs for 96 ounces of fruit punch = (96×2.5)/128 = 1.875
The costs for 96 ounces of fruit punch = $1.88
Priya's budget for poetry club meeting in dollars = $5.99 + $1.88 = $7.87
Cost per item for x number of people:
y = x(2.5/128) + x (3.99/16)
y = x(0.0195) + x(0.2494)
Cost equation for Priya's budget:
y = 96x(2.5/128) + 24x (3.99/16)
y = 96x(0.0195) + 24x(0.2494)
Since the total number of people to attend the meeting is 12, the constraint = 0≤x≤12
