Question 128751: Mary has a $90 gift certificate for a book store where paperbacks cost $9 and hardback books cost $12. She must spend at least $25 and no more than $90 to use the gift certificate. Write a system of inequalities to determine the formula for using the gift certificate.
I came up with 9x + 12y is less than or equal to 90; and 9x + 12y is greater than or equal to 25. Is that correct?
