Answer 1

Answer:

8 cans for $4

Step-by-step explanation:

The choices they have to buy are

• 12 cans for $8.
• 10 cans for $8.
• 8 cans for $4.

Sages team needs at least 75 cans, and they have only $50. Let's make inequalities with each option they have.

12 cans for $8:

The unit rate here is 67 cents per can. So, 75 cans would be

$75 \times 0.67 = 50.25$

Which is out of their budget.

10 cans for $8 is just not the solution, because it's giving less cans for the same money.

8 cans for $4:

The unit rate is 50 cents per can. So, 75 would be

$75 \times 0.50 = 37.50$

Therefore, the last package is the best choice to buy at least 75 cans with a budget of $50 only.

Answer 2

You will have 13 cans left over.
