Answer 1

Answer: 1.6x + 1.75y ≤ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of strawberries that Joey can buy.

Let y represent the number of pounds of raspberries that Joey can buy.

Strawberries cost $1.60 per pound and raspberries cost $1.75 per pound. It means that the cost of x pounds of strawberry and y pounds of raspberry is expressed as

1.6x + 1.75y

if she only has $10 to spend on berries, then the inequality that can be used to represent the situation is

1.6x + 1.75y ≤ 10
