Linda has to buy stickers, erasers, and a pencil. She can only spend $3. A sticker costs $0.35, an eraser costs $0.99, and a pencil costs $0.59. Can Linda buy 3 stickers and 2 erasers? [Use the inequality 0.35x + 0.99y + 0.59 ≤ 3] A) Yes, because the total will be $2.93 B) Yes, because the total will be $1.62 C) No, because the total will be $5.93 D) No, because the total will be $3.62
