Question

A movie theater is giving away a souvenir poster to any customer with a concession stand receipt that exceeds $60. The theater sells a bag of popcorn for $6 and bottle of soda for $3.50. Let x represent the number of bags of popcorn, and let y represent the number of bottles of soda. Which linear inequality can be used to find the quantities of popcorn and soda that should be purchased to receive a poster

Answer 1

Cost of x bags of pop corn
= 6x
Cost of y bottles of soda
= 3.5y

Total cost = 6x + 3.5y
To get a souvenir poster, this cost must exceed 60
So
6x + 3.5y  is greater than 60

Use the greater than sign

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of x bags of pop corn

= 6x

Cost of y bottles of soda

= 3.5y

Total cost = 6x + 3.5y

To get a souvenir poster, this cost must exceed 60

So

6x + 3.5y is greater than 60

Use the greater than sign
