We can write an equation for the ways she can spend up to $10 if apples are $0.50/lb and bananas are $1.50/lb. The price (in dollars) of x pounds of apples is 0.50x The price (in dollars) of y pounds of bananas is 1.50y Price of a mix of apples [ and bananas is just 0.50x+1.50y We want to spend no more than $10, so 0.50x+1.50y 10 That's the inequality that shows the ways she can buy up to $10 worth of apples and bananas. http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/51e30e22e4b0d9a104dc0f93
