Question

an office administrator will be purchasing supplies for an upcoming meeting. She will purchase folders, which are $2.15 each, and notebooks, which are $4.60 each. The supply budget for this meeting is $150. Which inequality represents the constraint on the number of folders f and notebooks n the office administrator can purchase?

Answer 1

Given :

Price per folder = $2.15 .

Price per notebook = $4.60 .

The supply budget for this meeting is $150.

To Find :

Inequality represents the constraint on the number of folders f and notebooks n the office administrator can purchase.

Solution :

Let, number of folders and notebooks is f and n.

So, price of buying f and n number of folders and notebooks are :

P = 2.15f + 4.60n

Now, it is given that P ≤ $150 .

So,

2.15f + 4.60n ≤ 150

Hence, this is the required solution.
