The band is selling snacks during lunch. nachos are $2 each and burgers are $4 each. you want to buy at least 5 items. you want to spend no more than $16 total. a. define the variables
b. write a system of inequality
c. give 2 possible solutions

     2  nachos ,  3 burgers  is one possible solution.

     1 nacho  ,  4 burger   is another possible solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of nachos = $2 each

Cost of Burgers = $4 each

Hence, the variables are defined as:

Let x be the total number of nachos purchased.

and y be the number of burgers purchased.

According to the question, system of inequalities are:

        x + y ≥5

and, 2x + 4y ≤ 16

Now, solving for x and y,

as x + y = 5 ⇒  y = 5 -x

Substitute in the second equation, we get

2x + 4(5-x) = 16

or, 2x + 20  - 4x = 16

or, x = 2  and therefore y = 5-x = 5-2 = 3

So, x = 2 ,  y=3 is one possible solution.

      x = 1  , y = 4    is another possible solution.

question:

could we have options?
