Question

Jordan and Sharla are saving money to go on a study abroad trip. They must provide a down payment of $650 to sign up for the trip, and they can pay the remaining balance later. Jordan raises money by mowing lawns in his neighborhood and charges $25 per lawn. Sharla raises money by selling handmade necklaces for $15 each. Sharla raises less money than Jordan does because Sharla 3. only has enough materials to make 40 necklaces. (A) write two constraints to model the problem. Let x represent the number of lawns Jordan mows and y represent the number of necklaces Sharla sells. (B) can Sharla afford the down payment with the money she earns selling her necklaces? Explain your answer

Answer 1

A) 25x+15y=650

25x+15(40)=650

Or it could be 25x=650 and 15y=650

B) No because she makes $15 for every necklace which she only has 40 necklaces 15x40=600
