A Little League baseball team makes the semifinals after beating a higher-ranked team. In celebration, the parents and the coach want to order hamburgers and hotdogs for the team members. All Star Burgers charges $4.50 for a quarter pound hamburger and $2.50 for a regular size chili dog.

Let x be the number of burgers and y be the number of chili dogs. If the parents and the coach can spend no more than $90 altogether, write an inequality that represents how many of each they could buy.

Solution

given x be the number of burgers and y be the number of chili dogs

$4.50 for a quarter pound hamburger and $2.50 for a regular size chili dog.

total cost of hamburger =4.5 x , total cost of chili dog =2.5y

parents and the coach can spend no more than $90 altogether

inequality is

4.5x +2.5y   90
