Answer 1

Answer:

A) 4k + 3p < 36

B) 3 kitten magazines and 4 puppy magazines

4 kitten magazines and 6 puppy magazines

C) If bill bought 3 kitten magazines, then he buys less than 8 puppy magazines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

The number of kitten magazines = k

The number of puppy magazines = p

A) Write an inequality that describes the situation

We are told:

Bill spent less than $36 on Kitten and puppy magazines kitten magazines cost $4 each and puppy magazines cost $3 each

Hence:

$4 × k + $3 × p < 36

4k + 3p < 36

B) List two possible combinations of puppy and kitten magazines

4k + 3p < 36

Bill can buy:

3 kitten magazines and 4 puppy magazines

4 kitten magazines and 6 puppy magazines

C) If bill bought 3 kitten magazines, how many puppy magazines can he buy?

Using the inequality above:

4k + 3p < 36

4k + 3p < 36

4 × 3 + 3p < 36

12 + 3p < 36

3p < 36 - 12

3p < 24

p < 24/3

p < 8

If bill bought 3 kitten magazines, then he buys less than 8 puppy magazines.
