Example Question #1 : Setting Up Inequalities
A grocer decides to mix cashews, almonds, and walnuts and sell the mixture for $14.99/lb. In order for the mixture to be profitable, he would like to make sure that the cost of making the product is less than the selling price.
Cashews cost $8.99/lb
Almonds cost $6.99/lb
Walnuts cost $10.99/lb
Which of the following inequality ensures that the grocer will make a profit by selling the mixture? For one pound of mixture, he uses the following quantities:
x: amount of cashews in the mix
y: amount of almonds in the mix
z: amount of walnuts in the mix
The grocer wants the cost of the mixture to be less than the selling price.
Selling price = 14.99
Find the cost of the mixture
1. cost of cashews in mix:
2. cost of almonds in mix:
3. cost of walnuts in mix:
The cost of the mixture =
Cost of the mixture is less than Selling price
Example Question #2031 : Algebra Ii
You're running a pineapple delivery company and you have banked this month. You need to have left over at the end of the month to ensure you can pay for your utilities and give your employees their salary however, each pineapple costs . How many pineapples can you order this month beforehand without running over your budget. Write an inequality to represent this situation.
If we write the number of pineapples ordered as , then is the price of all the pineapples since each one costs . Now, it is alright if you have exactly so it is an inclusive inequality, and you are drawing from an available amount of , so we can write this inequality in words as
6 dollars * (number of pineapples) from 1000 dollars must be greater than or equal to 400 dollars.
This can easily be converted to mathematical symbols as
Example Question #1 : Setting Up Inequalities
Angie and Kirsten are looking to buy a couch that is less than . Kirsten has an individual spending limit of .
Which set of inequalities represents a solution for how much each girl will spend on the couch?
If Kirsten is represented by the variable , and Angie is represented by the variable , then the total amount Kirsten and Angie are spending can be represnted by the sum of . Since Angie and Kirsten only have to spend on a couch, must be less than . Therefore, . Kirsten only has to spend on a couch. Therefore, .
Example Question #4 : Setting Up Inequalities
Write the following statements as a set of inequalities:
- The total number of shirts and pants I bought did not exceed 20.
- The cost of the total number of pants and shirts I bought was more than 50 dollars.
Where, s is the number of shirts, p is the number of pants and c, is the total cost.
The first statement says that the total number of pants and shirts does not exceed 20. This means that the total can be 20 but nothing more which is represented by:
The second sentence says that the cost was greater than 50 dollars which is represented by:
