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
