Kelly is making desserts for a potluck at least 45 servings of desserts will be required for every batch of brownies she bakes she will get 20 servings and every pie will yield 10 servings write the i n e q u a l i t y in standard form that describes the situation using the given numbers and the one following variables X is the number of batches of brownies and why is the number of pies
Let:
X be the number of batches of brownies.
Y be the number of pies.
Since every batch of brownies yields 20 servings and every pie yields 10 servings, we can represent the number of servings as:
20X + 10Y.
We know that at least 45 servings of desserts will be required, so the inequality can be written as:
20X + 10Y ≥ 45.
Thus, the inequality in standard form is:
20X + 10Y - 45 ≥ 0.
The variable "Y" represents the number of pies specifically because it is stated in the problem that pies yield 10 servings each.
