Rides, r 7 2 5 Exhibits, e 3 5 6 Beth and her sisters each have $65 to spend at the fair. Write an inequality that describes the number of rides and exhibits they each can ride and view.

Answer 1

Answer:

7x + 3y </=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of rides Beth rides and y represent the number of exhibits she views

Each ride costs $7 to ride and each exhibit costs $3 to view

This means that x rides will cost x × 7 = $7x

Also, if she views y exhibits, the cost will be y × 3 = $3y.

Total cost of x rides and y views will be 7x + 3y

if she has at most $98 to spend at the fair, it means that all she can spend must be lesser than or equal to $98

The required expression will be

7x + 3y </=8
