Answer: 300cal ≤ y ≤ 1200 cal
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define x as the number of cookies that you eat, and y as the number of calories you consume in those cookies.
"if you eat no fewer than 2 cookies..."
This is written as:
2 ≤ x
This means that x can be equal to 2, or larger than 2.
"...and no more than 8 cookies"
This is written as:
x ≤ 8
This means that x can be smaller than 8 or equal to 8.
If we combine those two, we have:
2 ≤ x ≤ 8
And we know that each cookie contains 150 calories, and rememer that these numbers represent number of cookies, then the numbers of calories will be:
2*150 cal ≤ y ≤ 8*150 cal
300cal ≤ y ≤ 1200 cal.
To divide a small number by a bigger number, just see how many times the smaller number fits into the bigger number.
Questions (contd)
(a) For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same?
(b) What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?
Answer:
(a) 100 miles
(b) $65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Plan 1:

per mile
Plan 2:

per mile
Solving (a): Number of miles when both plans are equal
Represent the distance with x and the cost with y
So:
Plan 1:

Plan 2:

To solve (a), we equate both plans together; i.e.


Collect Like Terms


Solve for x


Hence, 100 mile would cost both plans the same
Solving (b): Cost when both plans are the same:
In this case, we simply substitute 100 for x in any of the y equation.




<em>Hence, the amount is $65</em>
