Answer:
x ≥ 3.5
y ≥ 2
2x + 1.5y ≤ 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Total Amount to spend ≤ $20
Let:
Amount of flour purchased = x
Amount of sugar purchased = y
Cost :
Flour = $2 per pound
Sugar = $1.5 per pound
Pounds of :
flour to be purchased ≥ 3.5
Sugar to be purchased ≥ 2
Hence, the system of inequalities :
x ≥ 3.5
y ≥ 2
Total Cost of x + total cost of y must be less than or equal to total amount
2x + 1.5y ≤ 20
