Q. Astrid wants to buy pumpkins and watermelons. She wants to buy more than 10 fruits, and she has a budget of $117.P+W>10 represents the number of pumpkins P and watermelons W Astrid should buy to get more than 10 fruits.5.5P+3.5W≤117 represents the number of pumpkins and watermelons she can buy on her budget of $117.Does Astrid meet both of her expectations by buying 7 pumpkins and 3 watermelons?Choose 1 answer:(A) Astrid meets both of her expectations.(B) Astrid buys the expected number of fruits, but she goes beyond her budget.(C) Astrid stays within her budget, but she doesn't buy the expected number of fruits.(D) Astrid doesn't meet either of her expectations.
Check Fruits Quantity: Check if the number of pumpkins (P) and watermelons (W) Astrid wants to buy meets her first expectation of buying more than 10 fruits.P + W > 107 + 3 > 1010 > 10
Meet Expectations: Since 10 is not greater than 10, Astrid does not meet her first expectation of buying more than 10 fruits. She only meets the minimum requirement.
Check Budget Limit: Check if the cost of 7 pumpkins and 3 watermelons stays within her budget of $117 to meet her second expectation.5.5P+3.5W≤1175.5(7)+3.5(3)≤11738.5+10.5≤11749≤117
Within Budget: Since 49 is less than 117, Astrid stays within her budget when buying 7 pumpkins and 3 watermelons.
Final Decision: Determine which answer choice is correct based on the previous steps.Astrid buys the expected number of fruits (exactly 10, not more), and she stays within her budget.
