The Math Team is selling hamburgers and hotdogs in the courtyard after school. They can sell at most 40 items.
A package of hamburgers costs $15 and a package of hotdogs costs $12 and they want to spend at least $540 per week.
Let = n umber of hamburgers and y = number of hotdogs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
" . . . they want to spend at least $540 per week".
Is their goal to "spend at least $540" or to collect money ?
From the dictionary, learn the meaning of the words "spend", "cost" and "at least",
as you combine them.
Also, read and re-read your post several times to make sure that you do understand what is written there.
And the last notice: in the final version, if (and when) you will re-post it to the forum, do not forget
to include your question.
Otherwise, I will delete your post ---- without any explanations
