Question

mr. barton is ordering pizzas and breadsticks for a school pizza party and has a budget of $55, but no more. an order of breadsticks costs $6.59 and a pepperoni pizza costs $13.46. write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. use the given numbers and the following variables. x = the number of orders of breadsticks y = the number of pepperoni pizzas

Explanation:

Step1: Identify cost of breadsticks

The cost of $x$ orders of breadsticks is $6.59x$ since each order costs $6.59$.

Step2: Identify cost of pizzas

The cost of $y$ pepperoni - pizzas is $13.46y$ since each pizza costs $13.46$.

Step3: Set up the inequality

The total cost of breadsticks and pizzas must be less than or equal to the budget of $55$. So the inequality is $6.59x + 13.46y\leq55$.

Answer:

$6.59x + 13.46y\leq55$
