Question

Enrique needs to buy hamburgers and hot dogs for a picnic. He has only $16.50 to spend and must buy AT LEAST 44 hamburgers or hot dogs. A store charges $.50 per hamburger and $0.25 per hot dog. Which of the following is a possible way Enrique might buy the hamburgers and hot dogs?

29 hamburgers and 15 hot dogs

25 hamburgers and 18 hot dogs

22 hamburgers and 23 hot dogs

20 hamburgers and 25 hot dogs

Answer 1

Answer: D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 20 hamburgers and 25 hot dogs.

20(.5)+25(.25)<16.5

         10+6.25<16.5

             16.25<16.5

The budget is $16.50 and $16.25 is $.50 less therefore making it a possible option for Enrique.
