Question

Travis has a budget of $300 that he can spend on perennial or annual flowers . He wants to buy at least 8 perennial flowers and at least 6 annual flowers. Perennial flowers are 18 dollars per plant and Annual flowers are 15 dollars per plant . Let x be the number of perennial flowers purchased and let y be the number of annual flowers purchased . Which system of inequalities describes this situation ?

Answer 1

Using x and y as stated in the question will give

$\begin{gathered} x\ge8 \\ y\ge6 \end{gathered}$$18x+15y\leq300$

Hence, the system of inequalities that describe the situation from the statement given is

x ≥8; y ≥ 6; 18x+15y<
