Answer:
The maximum number of turkey sandwiches Ben could have sold is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that turkey sandwiches cost $2.50 and veggie wraps cost $3.50 at a snack stand.
Given the information, we are to find the maximum value of turkey sandwiches Ben could have sold.
[tex] 2 . 5 0 x + 3 . 5 0 y \leq 3 0 [/tex]
Number of veggie wraps sold (y) = 4
2.50x + 3.50(4) < 30
2.50x + 14 < 30
- 14 -14
2.50x < 16
[tex]x<\frac{16}{2.50}[/tex]
[tex]x <6.4[/tex]
The maximum number of turkey sandwiches Ben could have sold is 6.
The maximum value of turkey sandwiches Ben could have sold is;
Option B; 6
Let number of turkey sandwiches be x
Let number of veggie wraps be y.
We are told that Turkey sandwiches cost $2.50 and veggie wraps cost $3.50.
Thus, for x number of Turkey sandwiches, the cost will be; 2.5x
For y number of veggie wraps, the cost will be 3.5y.
We are told he sold no more than $30 worth of turkey sandwiches and veggie wraps in the first hour of business. Thus, inequality to represent this scenario is;
2.5x + 3.5y ≤ 30
Now, he has sold 4 veggie wraps. Thus;
2.5x + 3.5(4) ≤ 30
2.5x + 14 ≤ 30
2.5x ≤ 30 - 14
2.5x ≤ 16
x ≤ 16/2.5
x ≤ 6.4
Since the number can't be decimal, we approximate to a whole number to get; x = 6
