An event planner wants to order some ice sculptures as decorations for a company party. Small sculptures cost $148.31 and large sculptures cost $453.17, and the maximum budget for this portion of the party is $2,000.
Write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.
x = the number of small ice sculptures
y = the number of large ice sculptures
The cost of x small ice sculptures is $148.31x.
The cost of y large ice sculptures is $453.17y.
The total cost of the ice sculptures can be represented by the inequality:
$148.31x + $453.17y ≤ $2,000.
