Question

Mandy is playing games at an arcade where the machines take tokens. She can afford to buy up to 59 tokens. Skee ball requires 1 token per game and pinball requires 3 tokens per game.
Write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.
x = the number of games of skee ball
y = the number of games of pinball

Answer 1

1x + 3y ≤ 59

(with x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0, and x and y are whole numbers since they count games)
