you have to spend $50 on pretzels and juice for a school function.
a box of pretzels costs $2.75 and package of juice drinks costs $4.00.
write an equation in standard form that models the possible combinations of
boxes of pretzels and packages of juice drinks that you can buy.
:
2.75p + 4d = 50
to graph this
2.75p = -4d + 50
p =
:
is there a possible situation, where you purchase an equal amount of pretzels and juice boxes? explain why or why not.
:
there is only one integer solution: d=7, p=8
:
graph the different possible combinations.
