Question

For her birthday, Samantha received a gift card, with a value of $300, to a department store. She wants to purchase at least 5 articles of clothing for work. At the store, sweaters cost $26.49 each and dress pants cost $34.99 each.

If Samantha does not spend more than the amount on the gift card, which system of inequalities could be used to determine the number of sweaters, s, and the number of dress pants, p, she can buy?

s + p > 5
$26.49s + $34.99p < $300

s + p > 5
$34.99s + $26.49p < $300

s + p < 5
$26.49s + $34.99p < $300

s + p < 5
$26.49s + $34.99p > $300

Answer 1

Ok, D can be eliminated right then and there, why? Because it's greater than 300 dollars. Now can you see the other odd one that can be removed?

Answer 2

B

Answer 3

Answer 5

Perfect, B s eliminated because a sweater is not 34.99 and C would be too because the articles of clthing are equal to >5 (less than five) and she wants at least 5.
