Answer:

The system of inequality to represent the situation is

p + h \geq 12  

8 p + 12 h = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total money to be spend on books = $150

The cost of each paperback book = $8

The cost of each hard back book = $12

The total number of books to be purchased = 12

Let The number of paperback books = p

Let The number of hard back books = h

<u>According to question</u>

Total number of books to be purchased =  number of paperback book + number of hard back book

i.e p + h \geq 12            ...........A

<u>Again</u>

Total money to be spend on books =  number of paperback books × cost of each paperback book  +  number of hard back books × cost of each hard back book

i.e p × $8 + h × $12 = $150

Or, 8 p + 12 h = 150         .........B

So, The system of inequality to represent the situation =

p + h \geq 12     and  8 p + 12 h = 150

Hence, The system of inequality to represent the situation is

p + h \geq 12 and  8 p + 12 h = 150  . Answer
