Question

the networking organization you joined is throwing a party. you are in charge of buying the chips, which cost $2.50 per bag and salsa, which costs $4 per jar. the chips & salsa budget you are given totals $60. the inequality 2.5x 4y less than or equal to 60 represents the possible combinations of chips (x) and salsa (y) you can buy. which of the following does not represent a solution to the inequality? 10 bags of chips and 2 jars of salsa 20 bags of chips and 2 jars of salsa 14 bags of chips and 5 jars of salsa 18 bags of chips and 6 jars of salsa

Answer 1

2.5x + 4y < = 60

its just a matter of subbing in ur answer choices and see which one does not work.

2.5(18) + 4(6) < = 60
45 + 24 < = 60
69 < = 60...incorrect

so the one that does not work is : 18 bags of chips and 6 jars of salsa
