Derin is travelling abroad with a $0.50 calling card. The rate to call her boyfriend in Japan is $0.75 per minute. The rate to call her family in Turkey is $0.50 per minute. Derin wants to spend at least 30 minutes calling her family in Turkey. Which of the following systems of inequalities best represents the relationship between x, the number of minutes Derin calls Japan, and y, the number of minutes Derin calls Turkey?
Q. Derin is travelling abroad with a $0.50 calling card. The rate to call her boyfriend in Japan is $0.75 per minute. The rate to call her family in Turkey is $0.50 per minute. Derin wants to spend at least 30 minutes calling her family in Turkey. Which of the following systems of inequalities best represents the relationship between x, the number of minutes Derin calls Japan, and y, the number of minutes Derin calls Turkey?
Identify Rates and Minimum: We need to identify the rates for calling Japan and Turkey and the minimum number of minutes Derin wants to spend calling her family in Turkey. However, these values are missing from the problem statement. Without these values, we cannot create the system of inequalities.
Information Missing: Since we cannot proceed without the necessary information, we must acknowledge that the problem cannot be solved in its current form. We would need the rates for calling Japan (let's call it 'rj' per minute) and Turkey ('rt' per minute), as well as the minimum number of minutes Derin wants to spend calling Turkey ('mint').
System of Inequalities: If we had the rates rj and rt, and the minimum number of minutes mint, the system of inequalities would likely take the following form:1. x≥0 (where x is the number of minutes calling Japan, and this inequality represents that the number of minutes cannot be negative)2. y≥mint (where y is the number of minutes calling Turkey, and this inequality represents that Derin wants to spend at least mint minutes calling Turkey)However, without the actual values, we cannot provide specific inequalities.
