Question

At a candy store a bag holds up to 1 pound of candy. Each jawbreaker (x) weighs 0.25 pounds and each gumball (y) weighs 0.1 pounds. Which inequality shows the solution for all combinations of the two candies that will fit in the 1-pound bag?

Answer 1

X - number of jawbreakers;
y - number of gumballs.
The weight of jawbreakers + gumballs must be less than or equal to 1 pound.
Inequality that shows the solution for all combinations of the two candies is:
0.25 x + 0.1 y ≤ 1
