Answer 1

Answer:

D 1.29x+1.35y≤12

Step-by-step explanation:

Nick is making a fruit salad. He buys apples for $1.29 per pound and oranges for $1.35 per pound. He spends no more than $12.

Let x represent the number of pounds of apples that Nick buys. Let y represent the number of pounds of oranges that Nick buys.

1.29x+1.35y≥121.29x+1.35y≥12

1.29x+1.35y>121.29x+1.35y>12

1.29x+1.35y<121.29x+1.35y<12

1.29x+1.35y≤12
