Question

Penelope went to the store to buy x pounds of broccoli for $1.10 per pound and y cans of soup for $2.50 each. In total, she spent less than $10. The inequality relating the purchases she made and the total purchase price is 1.10x + 2.50y < 10. Which are reasonable solutions for this situation? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

2.5y + 1.1x ∠ 10

2.5y = - 1.1x +10

y = (- 1.1/2.5)x + 4

Draw this function. It's descending (m negative). All values on the left of the lines satisfy this inequality
