Aracely can spend up to a total of $20 on streamers
and balloons for a party. Streamers cost $1.49 per
pack, and balloons cost $4.39 per pack. Which of
the following inequalities represents this situation,
where is the number of packs of streamers Aracely
can buy, and b is the number of pack of balloons
Aracely can buy? (Assume there is no sales tax.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.49S + 4.39B \leq 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not given; However, the question can be solved without the list of options

Given

Let S represent packs of Streamers

Let B represent packs of  Balloons

Required

Represent this with an inequality

From the question, we understand that;

$1S\ =\ \ 1.49\ and\ \ 1B\ = \ \ 4.39$

Also, it's stated that Aracely can't spend more than $20;

This mean that the maximum Aracely can spend is $20 and it can be represented with the inequality sign $\leq 20$

Bringing them together;

$1.49S + 4.39B \leq 20$
