Anita sells stuffed bunnies and puppies to a toy store. She sells each bunny for $8.00 and each puppy for $10.00. This week, Anita wants to sell more than 30 stuffed animals and needs to earn a minimum of $450.
Which system of inequalities can Anita use to determine the number of stuffed bunnies, x, and stuffed puppies, y, that she can sell to meet her goals?
A.
x + y > 30
8x + 10y ≥ 450
B.
x + y > 30
8x + 10y ≤ 450
C.
x + y < 30
8x + 10y ≥ 450
D.
x + y < 30
8x + 10y ≤ 450
The answer is A. x + y > 30 8x + 10y ≥ 450.
The first inequality x + y > 30 ensures that Anita sells more than 30 stuffed animals.
The second inequality 8x + 10y ≥ 450 ensures that Anita earns a minimum of $450.
