Question

Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.

Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar.

Let x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce.

Select all that apply.

Choose the inequalities needed to describe the amount of pasta and pasta sauce that Tyler can b

Answer 1

"If we let
x = the number of packages of pasta and
y = the number of jars of pasta sauce

Then, the system of inequalities is:
x + y ≤ 20
x + (3/1.5) y ≤ 36

The boundaries are:
0 ≤ x ≤ 4
0 ≤ y ≤ 16"

Answer 2
