Question

The town librarian bought a combination of new-release movies on DVD for $20 and classic movies on DVD for $8. Let x represent the number of new releases, and let y represent the number of classics. If the librarian had a budget of $500 and wanted to purchase as many DVDs as possible, which values of x and y could represent the number of new-release and classic movies bought?

Answer 1

please post the work how you ve got these results

Answer 2

answer choices:

x = 8, y = 45
x = 10, y = 22
x = 16, y = 22
x = 18, y = 18

Answer 3

x represents new releases. they are $20 each, so the total price of (x) new releases is 20x

same logic with the classics: 8y

in total: 20x + 8y must be less than/equal to 500

for each answer choice, plug in the appropriate x and y value into the expression, and see which one is less than/equal to 500
