The non-profit organization you volunteer for is throwing a fundraiser cookout. You are in charge of buying the hamburgers, which cost $3 per pound, and hot dogs, which cost $2 per pound. The meat budget you are given totals $600 dollars. The inequality 3x + 2y less than or equal to 600 represents the possible combinations of pounds of hamburgers (x) and hot dogs (y) you can buy.
can you help me @nimcompoop
whats your question
Which of the following represents a solution to the inequality? 200 pounds of hamburgers and 140 pounds of hot dogs 150 pounds of hamburgers and 60 pounds of hot dogs 100 pounds of hamburgers and 240 pounds of hot dogs 240 pounds of hamburgers and 40 pounds of hot dogs
@madhu.mukherjee.946
okay,pls wait
okay
its option B
see hamburger: 1 pound $3 150 pound $450 hot dog: 1 pound $2 60 pound $120 so total =$570 which less than $600 all other combinations will give amount more than $600
so B is the right combination
i was guessing option b but i wasnt so sure cuz it was just an educated guess i wasnt sured of how to work it out
THANK YOU VERYYYY MUCH
