Q. Jeanette is playing games at an arcade where the machines take tokens. She can afford to buy up to 23 tokens. Skee ball requires 2 tokens per game and pinball requires 3 tokens per game.Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.x= the number of games of skee bally= the number of games of pinballChoices:(A) 2x⋅3y≥23(B) 2x+3y≥23(C) 2x+3y≤23(D) 2x⋅3y≤23
Define Maximum Tokens: Jeanette has a maximum number of tokens she can use, which is 23. We need to find an inequality that represents the number of games of skee ball and pinball she can play without exceeding this number of tokens.
Calculate Skee Ball Tokens: The cost to play one game of skee ball is 2 tokens. Therefore, if Jeanette plays x games of skee ball, the total number of tokens she will use for skee ball is 2x.
Calculate Pinball Tokens: The cost to play one game of pinball is 3 tokens. Therefore, if Jeanette plays y games of pinball, the total number of tokens she will use for pinball is 3y.
Find Total Tokens Used: To find the total number of tokens Jeanette will use for both skee ball and pinball, we add the tokens used for skee ball 2x to the tokens used for pinball 3y, which gives us the expression 2x+3y.
Set Inequality: Since Jeanette can afford to buy up to 23 tokens, she cannot spend more than that. Therefore, the total number of tokens used for both games must be less than or equal to23. This gives us the inequality 2x+3y≤23.
