Salma is in charge of decorating the school gym for a party. She has budgeted some money for decorations. Balloons (x) cost $2.5
0 a bunch, and streamers (y) cost $1.25 per pack. Salma wants to get at least 20 decoration items, but she can spend no more than $45 on decorations. Which system of inequalities represents the situation above?
Already you know that answers b and d are not an option because it is saying she can use OVER 45 dollars. So she has to use EQUAL or less then 45 dollars. So the answer has to be A or C. In answer C it is saying she can spend MORE then 2.50 for a bunch where she cant. She has to spend exactly or less then that amount. So your answer is A.
