The pep club members are selling popcorn and candy. they make aprofit of 12$ on a can of pop corn and $8 on bag of candy. They would like to make at least $480. They can sell at most 80 items.

A: Write a system of inequalities that represent the number of containers of popcorn and candy that they will sell given the conditions described

Answer 1

Let x and y be no. of popcorn and candy sold respectively.
x + y ≤ 80 i.e. y ≤ 80 - x
12x + 8y ≥ 480 i.e. 3x + 2y ≥ 120

The system of inequalities is
y ≤ 80 - x
3x + 2y ≥ 120
