Use for the number of snacks
Use for the number of drinks
Which inequality represents this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

5s + 3.50d < 40

Step-by-step explanation:

if you were to total up the costs of a snack and drink together you'll end up with $8.50

-multiply $8.50 until you reach $40 mark

i.e 8.50×2(means 2 of each item) = $17

8.50×3 = $25.5

8.50×4 = $34

8.50×5= $42.5

-if you look at it, the calculation for 5, the pricing is now over the budget therefore the answer is then 5s + 3.50d < 40 because she can only spend up to $34 at most
