Roy is purchasing dried apricots and cherries to use in his homemade trail mix, which requires at least 230 grams of fruit in to
tal. Each dried apricot weighs 5 grams and each dried cherry weighs 2 grams. Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables. x = the number of dried apricots
y = the number of dried cherries
If apricots is x, and each apricot weighs 5 grams, then the expression for that is 5x; if each cherry, y, weighs 2 grams, then the expression for that is 2y. If the mix Roy wants to make needs AT LEAST 230 grams of fruit, then
5x + 2y ≥ 230 where the inequality sign "greater than or equal to" satisfies the expression "at least".
