Andrew is planning a tailgate party before the big football game. He has budgeted a maximum of $60 for hamburgers and hot dogs. Hamburgers cost $3 per pound, and hot dogs cost $2 per pound. Write an inequality to describe the possible number of pounds of hamburgers and of hot dogs he can purchase.

Question

Let M = Number of ha$\bf M$burgers
Let D = Number of hot $\bf D$ogs
He has a budget of 60 bucks
So, 3M + 2D would be the cost of the hot dogs and hamburgers, but this needs to be less than his budget of 60
So, 3M + 2D < 60.
