Full solution

Q. Mrs. Cline is making her special cantaloupe-and-honeydew salad for a school banquet and doesn't want to spend more than

\$33

at the supermarket. Currently, cantaloupes cost

\$4

each and honeydew melons cost

\$1

each.

\newline

Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.

\newline

x =

the number of cantaloupes she will purchase

\newline

y =

the number of honeydew melons she will purchase

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)

4x + y \leq 33

\newline

(B)

x + 4y \leq 33

\newline

(C)

x + 4y < 33

\newline

(D)

4x + y < 33

Calculate Cantaloupe Cost: Cantaloupes cost $\$4$ each, so the total cost for cantaloupes is $4$ times the number of cantaloupes. $\newline$ Calculation: $4 \times x = 4x$
Calculate Honeydew Cost: Honeydew melons cost $\$1$ each, so the total cost for honeydew melons is $1$ times the number of honeydew melons. $\newline$ Calculation: $1 \times y = y$
Calculate Total Cost: The total cost is the sum of the cost of cantaloupes and honeydew melons. $\newline$ Calculation: Total cost = $4x + y$
Set Spending Limit: Mrs. Cline doesn't want to spend more than $\$33$ . Inequality: $4x + y \leq 33$
