Question

The non-profit organization you volunteer for is throwing a fundraiser cook out. You are in charge of buying the hamburgers, which cost $3 per pound and hotdogs, which cost $2 per pound. The meat budget you are given totals $600. The inequality 3x + 2y less than or greater to 600 represents the possible combinations of pounds of hamburgers (x) and hotdogs (y) you can buy.

Answer 1

Which of the following represents a solution to the inequality?

200 pounds of hamburgers and 140 pounds of hotdogs

150 pounds of hamburgers and 60 pounds of hotdogs

100 pounds of hamburgers and 240 pounds of hotdogs

240 pounds of hamburgers and 40 pounds of hotdogs

Answer 2

3x + 2y ≤ to 600 ====> (200 , 140)
3*200 + 2*140 ≤ to 600
600 + 280 ≤ to 600
880 ≤ 600 ( not true )

3x + 2y ≤ to 600 ====> (150 , 60)
3*150 + 2*60 ≤ to 600
300 + 120 ≤ to 600
420 ≤ 600 ( true )

3x + 2y ≤ to 600 ====> (100 , 240)
3*100 + 2*240 ≤ to 600
300 + 480 ≤ to 600
780 ≤ 600 ( not true )

3x + 2y ≤ to 600 ====> (240 , 40)
3*240 + 2*40 ≤ to 600
720 + 80 ≤ to 600
800 ≤ 600 ( not true )
