I read this story last year for my 7th grade year. The correct answer is A!
Answer:
it'll be a graph like this. the blue line is y<-x+2 and you would shade everything below this line because it's less than. the green is y>x-3 so you would shade everything above this line because it is greater than.
X=price of one jumbo popcorn
y=price of one chocolate chip cookies
$5.00=$5.00(100 cts / $)=500 cts
$6.00=$6.00(100 cts / $)=600 cts
We suggest this system of equations:
x+2y=500
x+4y=600
we solve this system of equations by reduction method.
-(x+2y=500)
x+4y=600
----------------------
2y=100 ⇒ y=100/2=50
x+2y=500
x+2(50)=500
x+100=500
x=500-100
x=400
solution: one chocolate chip cookie cost 50 cts.
Ron would have to pay his broker $400 because 1.25 percent of 32,000 is 400
