Write an inequality that describes a charge of $10.00.

Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Paper product amd plastic bottles removed per week = 200

Charge:

32 cent per pound of plastic

89 cent per pound of paper

Inequality that describes the pounds of each kind of product that Kitara Recycling removes

Pound of paper removed = p

Pound of plastic removed = b

Pound of paper + pound of plastic ≤ 200

p + b ≤ 200

Inequality that describes a charge of $10.00.

Amount charged for plastic = 32 cent = 32/100 = 0.32

Amount charged for paper = 89 cent = 89/100 = 0.89

Hence,

0.32b + 0.89p = $10
