Question 2 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

Dwayne is selling hamburgers and cheeseburgers. He has 100 burger buns. Each hamburger sells for $3, and each cheeseburger sells for $3.50. Which system of inequalities represents the number of hamburgers, h, and the number of cheeseburgers, c, he must sell to have sales of at least $80?

Answer
h
h + c ≤ 803h + 3.5c ≤ 100
h
h + c ≤ 803h + 3.5c ≥ 100
h
h + c ≤ 1003h + 3.5c ≤ 80
h
h + c ≤ 1003h + 3.5c ≥ 80

Explanation

Each hamburger or cheeseburger uses one bun, so the total sold cannot exceed 100: h + c ≤ 100. The sales amount is 3h + 3.5c dollars, and “at least $80” means this amount must be 80 or greater: 3h + 3.5c ≥ 80. These inequalities match choice D.
