Gianna wants to buy holiday presents for her family. At the holiday sale, every ornament is $3 and every stocking is $8. Although there will be 24 people at holiday dinner, she wants to buy more just in case someone brings a guest. She has allotted $200 for gifts. Write a system of linear inequalities to represent the situation

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Let o and s represent the numbers of ornaments and stockings, respectively.

  o + s > 24 . . . . . . the total of gifts is more than 24

  3o +8s ≤ 200 . . . the maximum budget is $200

7

step-by-step explanation:

i'm assuming you need to figure out how many campers go into each tent.

i got the answer by:

24+4=28

28/4=7  

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
