Question

Ken wants to buy some coffee mugs, m , that cost $5 each and some ground coffee, C, that costs $8 a pound. He has $25.

Answer 1

The inequality representation of the scenario is :

• 5m + 8c ≤ 25
• m = 1 and c = 1

• Number of mugs = m
• Cost per mug = $5
• Number of ground coffee = c
• Cost per ground coffee = $8
• Total amount to spend = $25

• (Number of mug × cost per mug) + (Number of ground coffee × cost of ground coffee) ≤total amount to spend

• Representing as an inequality : 5m + 8c ≤ 25

Combination of m and c that makes the inequality true :

• Using trial by error :
• m = 1 and c = 1
• 5(1) + 8(1) ≤ 25 ; 13 ≤ 25

Hence, m = 1 and c =1 are valid values for the expression.
