Question

Turkey sandwiches cost $2.50 and veggie wraps cost $3.50 at a snack stand. Ben has sold no more than $30 worth of turkey sandwiches and veggie wraps in the first hour of business. Let x represent the number of turkey sandwiches and y represent the number of veggie wraps. The inequality 2.50x+3.50y30 represents the food sales in the first hour.

If Ben has sold 4 veggie wraps, what is the maximum number of turkey sandwiches Ben could have sold?

Answer 1

The maximum number of turkey sandwiches Ben sold is 6.

What is the maximum number of turkey sandwiches Ben sold?

Given this equation : 2.50x + 3.50y ≤ $30

If y is 4, take the following steps in order to determine the value of x:

Substitute for y in the above equation:

2.50x + (3.50 x 4) ≤ $30

2.50x + 14 ≤ $30

2.50x ≤ $30 - 14

2.50x ≤ $16

x ≤ 6.4
