The answer is A.) 5x+8y≤120
To get this answer the first thing I did was notice what it says the x and y variables stand for. The "x variable represents the number of breadsticks purchased" and "the y variable represents the number of pizza pies purchased". It also says that each breadstick is $5 and each pizza pie is $8. Accordingly, we need to match our variables with what we're buying. So, the y be with 8 and the x be with 5.
So, our expression will have a 5x and an 8y in it.
Now if we notice, it says he can spend no more than $120, so that means he can spend $120 or less. The less than or equal to sign is ≤.
Now we can find our answer. The only answer with 5x and 8y with a ≤120 is answer choice A
Hope this helped!! :))
