Question

Minni has to buy stickers, erasers, and a pencil. She can only spend $4. A sticker costs $0.35, an eraser costs $0.99, and a pencil costs $0.59. Can Minni buy 2 stickers and 2 erasers?

[Use the inequality 0.35x + 0.99y + 0.59 ≤ 4]
Yes, because the total will be $3.27
Yes, because the total will be $1.93
No, because the total will be $4.27
No, because the total will be $5.93

Answer 1

yes you can and you don't need to use inequalities.

Answer 2

Since you already have an equation just put in how many stickers and erasers she wants to get: 0.35(2)+0.99(2)+0.59≤4.
Then you multiply: .35(2)=.70. .99(2)=1.98.
Then add: .70+1.98+.59=3.27, so yes she can since 3.27 is less than 4 :)
