Question

A grocery store sells almonds for $7/lb and peanuts for $5/lb. Let x represent the number of pounds of almonds, and let y represents the number of pounds of peanuts. Which inequality can be used to find how much of each type of nut can bought without spending more than $10?

Answer 1

The inequality is 10>7x+5y

Answer 2

Answer:

$7x+5y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  grocery store sells almonds for $7/lb and peanuts for $5/lb.

Let x represent the number of pounds of almonds,

and let y represents the number of pounds of peanuts.

Cost of almonds = $7x$

Cost of peanuts = $5y$

Total cost = $7x+5y$

This must be less than 10 dollars

Hence inequality is

$7x+5y$
