He wants to get both candy popcorn as a snack. He was given $10 to spend on snacks. A. c= cost of candy and p= cost of popcorn; 10 < c + p < 20B. c= cost of candy and p= cost of popcorn; 0 < c + p < 10C. c= cost of candy and p= cost of popcorn; 0 > c – p < 10D. c= cost of candy and p= cost of popcorn; 0 > c + p > 10

Answer 1

Solution

Let c represent the candy

Let p represent the popcorn

He wants to get both candy popcorn as a snack = c + p

He was given $10 to spend on snacks.

He cant spend above $10 cause that was the amount ,he was given to spend.

Therefore the c= cost of candy and p= cost of popcorn; 0 ≤ c + p ≤ 10

So the answer is Option B
