Question 1203914: The tennis coach at Summerfield High School is purchasing equipment for the team. He has a budget of no more than $400 to purchase rackets and tennis balls. A large case of tennis balls costs $20, and a racket costs $40.
Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.
x = the number of cases of tennis balls
y = the number of rackets
Answer by math_tutor2020(3817) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = the number of cases of tennis balls
y = the number of rackets
20x = cost of the tennis balls only
40y = cost of the rackets only
20x+40y = total cost of both types of items
We want this cost to be $400 or smaller.
Therefore, we arrive at the answer
We could divide each value by the GCF 20, but I'll avoid doing so. This is because we lose the connection between the inequality and the given info.
