Answer 1

Answer:

Here we have two inequalities.

P is price of the gallon,we have that:

$2.40 ≤ P ≤ $2.65

C is the amount of gallons that Ricardo buys each week.

8,5 ≤ C ≤ 11

Now, with this you can find the maximum and minimum amount that he can spend on a week.

The minimum is when he buys only 8.5 gallons and the price per gallon is $2.40

Cost = 8.5*$2.40 = $20.4

The maximum cost is when he buys 11 gallons, and the price of the gallon is $2.65

Cost = 11*$2.65 = $29.15

So the amount that he spends per week in gas, S, is:

$20.4 ≤ S ≤  $29.15
