Maria is selling chips and candy bars. Each box of chips has 20 bags for $13.80 and the candy bars
is $6.60 for a box of 12 bars. If Maria only has $100 to spend, write an inequality that represents
the possible number of boxes of chips (x) and boxes of candy bars (y) Maria could buy.


Sagot :

neverminding for a second how many bags of chips or bars are in either box, we know the price for the box of chips is $13.80, so we can say that prices are

1 box............13.80(1)

2 box............13.80(2)

3 box............13.80(3)

4 box............13.80(4)

x box............13.80(x)

or namely 13.80x.

likewise weca san say about the candy boxes that prices are

1 box............6.60(1)

2 box............6.60(2)

3 box............6.60(3)

4 box............6.60(4)

y box............6.60(y)

or namely 6.60y

we know Maria only has $100, so whatever "x" and "y" are, must fit within the constraint of those 100 bucks, so 13.80x + 6.60y must be either less or equals to 100 bucks, but not more, since it's all Maria has, thus

13.80x + 6.60y ⩽ 100
