Question

A seafood restaurant owner orders perch and salmon. Perch is four dollars per pound and salmon is three dollars per pound. He wants to buy at least 50 pounds of fish but cannot spend more than $240

Answer 1

Answer:

He can buy at least 34 pounds of fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 3x $\leq$ 240

7x $\leq$ 240

(240 divided by 7 gives you a decimal, so you would round it to the nearest whole number)

x $\leq$ 34
