You have at most $20 to spend at an arcade. Arcade games cost $0.75 each, and snacks cost $2.25 each. Write an inequality that represents the number of games (x) you can play and the number of snacks (y) you can buy.

Question

2.25x+0.75y≥20

0.75x+2.25y≤20

2.25x+0.75y≤20

0.75x+2.25y≥20

Answer 1

To optimize the number of games played, you want to spend as little money as possible on snacks. Therefore, the correct inequality is:

0.75x+2.25y≤20
