Question 683327: Please help me with this problem:
A) If a medium pizza costs $5 and a large pizza is $8, write an equation in standard form that models the possible combinations if you have $40. (Let m = medium and l = large.)
B) If you bought only medium pizzas in problem A, how many could you purchase?
C) If you bought 4 medium pizzas in problem A, how many large pizzas could you purchase?
For problem B, my answer is 8 m pizzas.
For problem C, my answer is 2 l pizzas.

Thank you!

You really don't want an equation for this model, you need an inequality. No one says you have to spend ALL of the $40 you have, right?
