Q. During the intermission of the school play, the drama class at Kingwood High School is offering refreshments. The goal is to make more than $140\$140 in revenue tonight by selling beverages for $1\$1 and snacks for $2\$2.\newlineSelect the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.\newlinex=x = the number of beverages sold\newliney=y = the number of snacks sold\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 2x+y1402x + y \geq 140\newline(B) x+2y140x + 2y \geq 140\newline(C) x+2y>140x + 2y > 140\newline(D) 2x+y>1402x + y > 140
  1. Beverage Revenue Calculation: Revenue from one beverage: $1\$1 Number of beverages sold: xx Total revenue from beverages: 1×x=x1 \times x = x
  2. Snack Revenue Calculation: Revenue from one snack: $2\$2 Number of snacks sold: yy Total revenue from snacks: 2×y=2y2 \times y = 2y
  3. Total Revenue Calculation: Total revenue: Revenue from beverages + Revenue from snacks\newlineTotal revenue: x+2yx + 2y\newlineThe goal is to make more than \(\(140\)).\newlineInequality: x + 2y > 140
