Sara is serving wings and burgers at her party. Wings cost $6.00 per serving and burgers are $3.00 each. Sara knows that at least 4 of her friends want wings. Sara must spend less than $45.00. If x represents the number of wing servings and y represents the number of burgers, which system of inequalities could be used to determine how many of each kind of food Sara can serve?
Question
Answer:
For this case we have the following variables:x = the number of wing servings
y = the number of burgers
We write the system of equations:
"Sara knows that at least 4 of her friends want wings":
x> = 4
"Sara must spend less than $ 45.00":
6x + 3y <45
Answer:
Sara could use the following system of inequalities to determine how many of each kind of food She can serve:
6x + 3y <45x> = 4
