Answer 13

John is at a local bait shop; he wants to buy bait for his fishing trip. At the store, they are selling live bait for $12 a pound and natural bait for $7 a pound. John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait, but he only has a budget of $63. Let x be the amount of live bait and y be the amount of natural bait. Model the scenario with a system of inequalities.

We know that live bait is being sold at $12/pound x=number of live bait
So we get: 12x
Same thing with natural bait $7/pound
So we get 7x
The word "atleast" means less than or equal to

Using this information can you attempt to make an equation?
You'll end up with two equations.
