You have $5 to spendon fruit for a picnic. Apples cost $0.99 per pound and bananas cost $0.49 per pound. Write an inequality to model the amount of apples and bananas you can buy.

.99a + .49b ≤ 5.00

To model the amount of apples and bananas you can buy with $5, we need to consider their respective costs per pound.

Let x represent the number of pounds of apples, and y represent the number of pounds of bananas.

The cost of apples can be calculated as $0.99 multiplied by the number of pounds of apples: 0.99x.
Similarly, the cost of bananas can be calculated as $0.49 multiplied by the number of pounds of bananas: 0.49y.

To stay within the budget of $5, the sum of the costs of apples and bananas should not exceed $5. Therefore, the inequality can be written as:

0.99x + 0.49y ≤ 5 (or) 99x + 49y ≤ 500
