Answer 1

Answer:

D) 18 bags of chips and 6 jars of salsa

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  The networking organization you joined is throwing a party. You are in charge of buying the chips, which cost $2.50 per bag and salsa, which costs $4 per jar. The chips & salsa budget you are given totals $60.

Inequality: $2.5x+4y$ ≤ $60$

Solution :

x represents chips

y represents salsa

Option a: 10 bags of chips and 2 jars of salsa

so, x = 10 and y =2

Putting values in inequality

$2.5(10)+4(2)$ ≤$60$

$25+8$ ≤$60$

$33$≤$60$

Hence it is correct.

Option c : 14 bags of chips and 5 jars of salsa

so, x = 14 and y =5

Putting values in inequality

$2.5(10)+4(2)$≤$60$

$50+8$≤$60$

$58$≤$60$

Hence it is correct.

Option c : 14 bags of chips and 5 jars of salsa

so, x = 14 and y =5

Putting values in inequality

$2.5(14)+4(5)$≤$60$

$35+20$≤$60$

$55$≤$60$

Hence it is correct.

Option d :18 bags of chips and 6 jars of salsa

so, x = 18 and y =6

Putting values in inequality

$2.5(18)+4(6)$≤$60$

$45+24$≤$60$

$69\geq 60$

Hence it is not correct since it violates the inequality
