Can you show us what you think about the problem?

OpenStudy (diana.xl):

my answer was the first one, but im not sure

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

Is there just one answer ?

OpenStudy (diana.xl):

yes

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I am stuck between A and B....leaning towards B....but you might need to get a second opinion

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@Diana.xL @texaschic101 Let's work this problem out together, ok?

OpenStudy (diana.xl):

ok

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Here, we have to buy turkey (t) and chicken (c). We're given a budget, which normally we do not exceed. We also have a minimum purchase, which we have to equal or exceed. So far so good?

OpenStudy (diana.xl):

yep

OpenStudy (mathmate):

All the answers have c\(\ge\)0, and t\(\ge\)0. Can you tell me what they mean?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

are you asking me ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

It means your buying more then 0 lbs of chicken and turkey

OpenStudy (mathmate):

exactly!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Can you tell me what is the total bill if we buy c chicken and t turkeys?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

$650 or less

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes, that's the budget. How much would c chickens and t turkeys cost, when you go to the cashier?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

1.85c + 1.40t

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Exactly. Can that exceed the budget?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

of course not....unless you rob the place...lol

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

Its the second one...right ?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Well, how do you say that mathematically?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

1.85c + 1.40t <= 650

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Exactly. How many of the choices say that correctly?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

just one....you should be a teacher

OpenStudy (diana.xl):

lol, thank u guys so much :]

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I am just the helper, not a teacher! You are the teacher! lol

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I don't think I could make it as a teacher...I would lose my patience too fast..lol

OpenStudy (mathmate):

You're doing very well, and I've seen all the good work you've done! Keep it up! Have a nice day to both of you! :)

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

you too :)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Thank you! :)
