A grocery store sells almonds for $7/lb and peanuts for $5/lb. Let x represent the number of pounds of almonds, and let y represents the number of pounds of peanuts. Which inequality can be used to find how much of each type of nut can bought without spending more than $10?

Respuesta :

The inequality is 10>7x+5y

Answer:

[tex]7x+5y <10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  grocery store sells almonds for $7/lb and peanuts for $5/lb.

Let x represent the number of pounds of almonds,

and let y represents the number of pounds of peanuts.

Cost of almonds = [tex]7x\\[/tex]

Cost of peanuts = [tex]5y[/tex]

Total cost = [tex]7x+5y[/tex]

This must be less than 10 dollars

Hence inequality is

[tex]7x+5y <10[/tex]
