You can put this solution on YOUR website! A restaurant charges $7 for a regular meal, and $5 for a child's meal. Both prices include tax.
a. A family has $35 to spend at the restaurant. Write an inequality to represent the maximum number of regular and child's meals they can buy.
Let # of regular meals be r
Let # of child meals be c
--------
Value INEQUALITY: 7r + 5c <= 35
-----------------------------------------
b. Does the family have enough money to buy two regular meals and three child's meals? Explain
2r + 3c = 2*7 + 3*5 = 14+15 = $29
