**PLEASE HELP** Suppose your class is raising money for the Red Cross. You make $5 on each basket of fruit and $3 in each box of cheese that you sell. How many items of each type must you sell to raise more than $150? a. Write a linear inequality that describes the situation.b. write two possible solutions to the problem
Accepted Solution
A:
a. Write a linear inequality that describes the situation. Let's name variables: x: basket of fruit y: box of cheese We can write the following inequality: 5x + 3y> 150
b. write two possible solutions to the problem For this problem we can have many solutions: Two possible solutions are: Solution 1: x = 20 y = 20 5 (20) +3 (20)> 150 100 + 60> 150 160> 150
Solution 2: x = 15 y = 30 5 (15) +3 (30)> 150 75 + 90> 150 165> 150
