Answer:
x=2 and y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
cost of Album= $10
cost of singles= $1
condition 1 : She wants to purchase at least 5 singles
condition 2: she wants to spend no more than $25 total
Brandi purchases x albums and y singles, then combination of albums and singles that Brandi could purchase and stay within her guidelines=?
Cost of x albums= $10x
Cost of y singles= $1y
Applying condition 1, we get:
y≥5 ---------equation i
Applying condition 2, we get:
10x+y≤25 ---------equation ii
Solving the above two equation i and ii we get:
x=2 and y=5
So the possible combination of albums and singles that Brandi could purchase and stay within her guidelines is
10(2) + 5 =25 !
