Question

Ugh, algebra! Help please, if you can. :(
You are serving bratwurst and hamburgers at a picnic. You want at least 3 brats or hamburgers for each of your 50 guests. Brats cost $1.25 each, and hamburgers cost $0.95 each.Your budget is $200.
Write a system of inequalities that represents this solution.

Thank you! TT_TT

Answer 1

alright well let's try work this out together.

Answer 2

let B = bratwurst
let H = hambuggas

Answer 3

50 guests in total

Answer 4

cost of B = 1.25
cost of H = 0.95

Answer 5

total spendable money is 200

Answer 6

the sum of B+H for each guest is 3

Answer 7

Is it B+ H> or equal to 150?

Answer 8

sorry B+H>=3

Answer 9

or, maybe this:
1.25B+0.95H>=(50)(3)

Answer 10

or wait no, sorry, got ahead of myself disregard last equation.

Answer 11

B+H>=150.. like you said, but then you need another equation

Answer 12

1.25B+0.95H<=200

Answer 13

No problem. Thank you for helping me. I THINK, is it...1.25B+.95H=200?

Answer 14

maybe.. i dunno.

Answer 15

yes and the second equation should depend on the first. so B and H will be the number of brats and burgs

Answer 16

so i would include the <= just so you are implying that since 200 is a budget, it doesn't mean you have to use ever penny of it
