Alexandra has $15 to buy drinks for her friends at the baseball game. Soda costs $2.75 and bottled water costs $2.00. This relationship can be
represented by the inequality 2758+2w $ 15. Three of Alexandra's friends
asked for water. Which inequality represents the number of sodas she can
buy?
A. OS 85 3.27
B. 85 3.27
C. OSSS3
D. 853

C

Step-by-step explanation:

write an equation for the costs:

if x is the number of sodas

and y is the number of waters

2.75x + 2y <= 15

(<= is less than or equal to)

if we substitute 3 for y

we get 2.75x + 2(3) <= 15

2.75x + 6 <= 15

2.75x <= 9

9 / 2.75 = 3.2727

however, you cannot buy part of a soda

so, round to 3

you also cannot buy negative sodas

so, the answer is C
