Victoria has a 1000$ budget for her pet store supplies. If collars cost $5 each and embellishments cost $2 each, write the inequality that represents this scenario. use c to represent numbers if collars and E for numbers of embellishments
The total cost of collars and embellishments Victoria buys has to be less than or equal to her budget.
Hence 5C+2E "less than or equal" 1000
To write the inequality that represents this scenario, we need to consider Victoria's budget. Let's break down the costs:
The cost of collars is $5 each, and the number of collars is represented by 'c'.
So, the cost of collars would be 5c.
The cost of embellishments is $2 each, and the number of embellishments is represented by 'E'.
So, the cost of embellishments would be 2E.
To represent Victoria's budget, which is $1000, we need to ensure that the total cost of collars and embellishments does not exceed $1000.
Using the above information, we can write the inequality:
5c + 2E ≤ 1000
This inequality ensures that the combined cost of collars and embellishments does not exceed Victoria's budget of $1000.
