Sarah and her children went into a movie theater where they sell bags of popcorn

Sarah and her children went into a movie theater where they sell bags of popcorn for $7.50 each and drinks for $4.50 each. Sarah has $90 to spend and must buy a minimum of 16 bags of popcorn and drinks altogether. If xx represents the number of bags of popcorn purchased and yy represents the number of drinks purchased, write and solve a system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution.

A possible solution is she should by 6 bags of popcorn and 10 drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of each bag of popcorn = $7.50

The price of each drink = $4.50

The amount Sarah has to spend = $90

The number of bags of popcorn and drinks Sarah must buy = 16 bags of popcorn and drinks

Let the number of bags of popcorn purchased be represented by x and the number of drinks purchased be represented by y

Therefore, we have;

x + y ≥ 16.....(1)

x × 7.5 + y × 4.5  ≤ 90

Which gives;

7.5·x + 4.5·y ≤ 90....(2)

Rewriting the inequalities as a function of y, gives;

From inequality (1), x + y ≥ 16, we have;

y = ≥ 16 - x

From inequality (2), 7.5·x + 4.5·y ≤ 90, we have;

7.5·x + 4.5·y ≤ 90

4.5·y ≤ 90 - 7.5·x

y ≤ 90/4.5 - 7.5/4.5·x

y ≤ 20 - 5/3·x

Please find attached, the plot of the inequalities

A possible solution is given as the value of x = 6, where y = 10

Therefore, she should by 6 bags of popcorn and 10 drinks.

first answer - you plot 'b' [on the y-axis] first, then use the slope m = c/d to go d units right and then c units up (positive 'c') or down (negative 'c')

Step-by-step explanation:

plot 'b' [on the y-axis] first, then use the slope m = c/d to go d units right and c units up (positive 'a') or down (negative 'a')

It has to be the first answer (in spite of the typo here), because all the others are wrong
