The phrase "up to" means less than or equal to since John cannot send more than 250 messages.
in not sure if it would be correct but i think it would be c because the lines would eventually cross through eachother
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost is 3,900. 115 x 20 = 2,300.
80 x 20 = 1,600. 2,300 + 1,600 = 3,900.
The cost per foot of redwood and of pine is $3.5 and $1.5 respectively.
<h3>How to solve simultaneous equation?</h3>
let
- cost of redwood = x
- cost of pine = y
50x + 70y = 280
100x + 60y = 440
Multiply (1) by 2
100x + 140y = 560
100x + 60y = 440
subtract to eliminate x
80y = 120
y = 120/80
y = $1.5
substitute y = 1.5 into (1)
50x + 70y = 280
50x + 70(1.5) = 280
50x + 105 = 280
50x = 280 - 105
50x = 175
x = 175 / 50
x = $3.5

The 5-pound bag is better value.
The easiest way to compare and find out which is a better buy is to find out how much is being charged for 1-pound of food in each bag.
$12 is divided by 3 beacuse it's a 3-pound bag and we are aiming to find what 1-pound is equal to.
$12 ÷ 3 = $4
So the first bag charges $4 per pound of food.
Then use the same method for the 5-pound bag.
$14.25 ÷ 5 = $2.85
So the second charges $2.85 per pound of food.
So as we can see, the 5-pound bag is clearly better value. For each pound of food you are saving $1.15 in comparison to what you would be spending if you opted for the first bag.
Hope this helps!
