A club is selling hats and jackets as a fundraiser. Their budget is $1500, and they want toorder at least 250 items. Each hat costs $5, and each jacket costs $8.Write a system of inequalities to represent the situation.

Respuesta :

Let H be the number hats and J the number of jackets. Then, we can write,

[tex]5H+8J\le1500[/tex]

Now, since they want 250 items at least, we can write

[tex]H+J\le250[/tex]

Hence, the system of inequalities is

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5H+8J\le1500 \\ H+J\le250 \end{gathered}[/tex]
