Answer: 1.60x + 1.75y is less than or equal to 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the strawberries cost $1.60 per pound, it would be x pounds times $1.60 for the total cost of strawberries. Since the raspberries cost $1.75 per pound, it would be y pounds times $1.75 for the total cost of the raspberries. The total cost of both, or 1.60x + 1.75y, must be equal to or less than 10 because she cannot spend over 10 dollars.
1.60x + 1.75y ≤ 10 inequality represents the given situation.
"Linear inequality is the mathematical expression where linear expression are relate using inequality >, <, ≥, ≤ ."
According to the question,
Given,
x pounds represents the weight of strawberries
y pounds represents weight of raspberries
Cost of strawberries per pound = $1.60
⇒Cost of x pounds strawberries = 1.60x
Cost of raspberries per pound = $1.75
⇒Cost of y pounds of raspberries = 1.75y
Total amount Joy can spend = $10
Substitute the conditions to represent a linear inequality we get,
1.60x + 1.75y ≤ 10
Hence, Option(A) is the correct answer.
