Lamonte and his children went into a movie theater and will buy drinks and candies. He must buy no more than 14 drinks and candies altogether. Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of drinks purchased, dd, and the number of candies purchased, c, .c.
The inequality representing the possible values for the number of drinks purchased, dd, and the number of candies purchased, c, would be:
dd + c ≤ 14
dd + c ≤ 14
Addison is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and $22 per hour tutoring. Addison must earn a minimum of $170 this week. Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of hours washing cars, ww, and the number of hours tutoring, tt, that Addison can work in a given week.
Let ww represent the number of hours washing cars and tt represent the number of hours tutoring that Addison can work in a given week.
To find the minimum amount Addison must earn, we can multiply the number of hours working each job by their respective hourly rates and set the sum greater than or equal to $170.
This can be written as:
10ww + 22tt ≥ 170
To find the minimum amount Addison must earn, we can multiply the number of hours working each job by their respective hourly rates and set the sum greater than or equal to $170.
This can be written as:
10ww + 22tt ≥ 170
An online furniture store sells chairs and tables. Each day, the store can ship a maximum of 15 pieces of furniture. Write an inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of tables sold, t, and the number of chairs sold, c, that would satisfy the constraint.
Let t represent the number of tables sold and c represent the number of chairs sold.
Since the store can ship a maximum of 15 pieces of furniture in a day, the total number of tables and chairs sold must be less than or equal to 15.
Therefore, the inequality that represents this constraint can be written as:
t + c ≤ 15
Since the store can ship a maximum of 15 pieces of furniture in a day, the total number of tables and chairs sold must be less than or equal to 15.
Therefore, the inequality that represents this constraint can be written as:
t + c ≤ 15
