Question 823526: Julie has decided to start a snow cone stand, and needs to purchase paper cups and flavored syrup. A local supplier offers packages of 25 cups at a cost of $2.64 per package, and bottles of syrup for $4.01 apiece. She has already decided to purchase 48 bottles of syrup.
If her total budget for these supplies is $311.00, and she cannot exceed this budget, which of the following inequalities could be used to solve for p, the number of packages of cups she can purchase?
$4.01 + $2.64p > $311.00
$192.48p - $2.64 > $311.00
$192.48 + $2.64p < $311.00
$126.72 + $4.01p < $311.00

$192.48 + $2.64p < $311.00
$126.72 + $4.01p < $311.00
------
cost of 48 syrup::48*4.01 = 192.48
cost of p-packages of cups:: 2.64p
----
Inequality:
syrup + cups < 311.00
192.48 + 2.64p < 311.00
