The girls' swim team is hosting a fund raiser. They would like to raise at least $500. They are selling candles for $5 and flower arrangements for $6. The girls estimate that at most they will sell 200 items.
Write a system using c for candles and f for flowers.
Answer:
c + f ≤ 200
5c +6f ≥ 500
Step-by-step explanation:
Using
c for candles
f for flowers.
The girls estimate that at most they will sell 200 items.
At most is a statement that means : Less than or equal to with the inequality sign (≤)
Hence:
c + f ≤ 200
They would like to raise at least $500. They are selling candles for $5 and flower arrangements for $6.
At least is a statement that means : Greater than or equal to with the inequality sign (≥)
Hence:
$5 × c + $6 × f ≥ $500
5c + 6f ≥ 500
Therefore, the system of inequalities is given as:
c + f ≤ 200
5c + 6f ≥ 500
