Answer 1

Greetings!

Answer:

Cheapest = $6

Most expensive = $11

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to make an equation:

4u + 2h = 40 < x < 60

u is umbrellas and h is hats,

If a hat is 8, then this can be:

4u + 2(8) = 40 < x < 60

4u + 16 = 40 < x < 60

4u = 40 - 16

4u = 24

u = 6

So the cheapest an umbrella can be is $6.

The most expensive is:

4u = 60 - 16

4u = 44

u = 11

So the most expensive is $11

Hope this helps!
