Tony has $20. He wants to buy at least 4
snacks. Hot dogs (x) are $3 each.
Peanuts (y) are $2 each.
Answer:
To solve the above question, we use the below inequality equations
x + y ≥ 4 snacks .........Inequality equation 1
3x + 2y ≤ $20 ..........Inequality equation 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can make use of the inequality equations
Hot dogs = (x) are $3 each.
Peanuts = (y) are $2 each.
He wants to buy at least 4
x + y ≥ 4 snacks .........Inequality equation 1
3x + 2y ≤ $20 ..........Inequality equation 2
From the above inequality equations, Tony can buy at least 4 snacks but he can only spend $20.
Let take a random number, where x = 4, and y = 4. This means Tony can buy
a) 4($3) + 4($2) = 12 + 8 = $20
The total number of snacks = 4 + 4 = 8 snacks.
b)
This answer above confirms the inequality equations 1 and 2
x + y ≥ 4 snacks .........Inequality equation 1
8 snacks ≥ 4 snacks
3x + 2y ≤ $20 ..........Inequality equation 2
$20 ≤ $20
