Question

Tony has $10 to buy apples and bananas for a fruit salad. Apples cost $2 per pound and bananas cost $1 per pound. Write and graph an inequality to describe the situation. Then give two possible combinations of pounds of apples and bananas that Tony can buy. HELP

Answer 1

The equation of inequality would be = 2 x + y ≤ 10 for the process of purchase.

Explanation:

Total amount of money tony have , T = $10

Thus the cost of apple, (We can represent as Ca) = $2

Also the cost of banana,(We can represent as  Cb) = $1

Let x be the number of apples bought

Let y be the number of bananas bought

Total expenditure to buy fruits, E = $2 x + $1 y

So,The equation of inequality would be = 2 x + y ≤ 10 for the process of purchase.
