Answer:

Number of salsa jars you can buy is 8 jars

The number of bags of chips you can buy is 28 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above is incomplete.

In other to complete it, we would have to make some assumptions.

You are in charge of buying the chips, which cost $2.50 per bag and salsa, which costs $4 per jar. The chips & salsa budget you are given totals $60. The inequality 2.5x + 4y less than or equal to 60 represents the possible combinations of chips (x) and salsa (y ) you can buy.

Hence, we solve for x and y

The inequality is given:

2.5x + 4y ≤ 60

2.5x + 4y = 60........ Equation 1

Let us assume that the total number of bags of chips - jar of salsa you can buy is equal to 20.

Hence:

x - y = 20...... Equation 2

x = 20 + y

Substitute 20 + y for x in Equation 1

2.5x + 4y = 60........ Equation 1

2.5(20 + y) + 4y = 60

50 + 2.5y + 4y = 60

Collect like terms

2.5y + 4y = 60 -50

6.5y = 50

y = 50/6.5

y = 7.6923076923

Approximately to the nearest whole number

Number of salsa jars you can buy is 8

From here, we can solve for x based on this assumptions

x - y = 20

x - 8 = 20

x = 20 + 8

x = 28

The number of bags of chips you can buy is 28 bags

pshichka [43]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

choice A is not guaranteed since the values varied from 0 to 7.

choice B seems alright, but doesn't include about or anything about the long run.

choice C is incorrect because 50% are less than 3.12 and 50% are greater than 3.12.

choice D seems pretty good, since it says average, long run, approach, etc.

choice E is incorrect because it says "will be". It is not definite.

The book fair a sale where 4 books were $31.36.If you wanted to buy 3 books, how much money would you need
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$23.52

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you would have to find how much each one would be if you were buying one individual book.  For that you would do 31.36/4 to get $7.84.  Then since you found that for only 1 book, you would need to multiply that by 3 to get $23.52
