Eiko is drawing caricatures at a fair for 8 hours (480 minutes). She can complete a small drawing in 15 minutes and charges $10 for the drawing. She can complete a larger drawing in 45 minutes and charges $25 for the drawing. Eiko hopes to make at least $200 at the fair. 

• 10x+15y≤480
  45x+25y≥250

• 10x+25y≤200
  15x+45y≤480

• 10x+25y>200
  15x+45y<480

• 10x+25y≥200
  15x+45y≤480

Cullin needs to save at least $100 for homecoming. He works 2 jobs earning $8/hour at Culvers and $25/hour mowing lawns. He only has time to work 14 hours before homecoming.

• x + y  ≥ 25
  x + y ≤ 8

• 100x + 25 y ≤ 100
  2x + 8y ≤ 14

• x + y ≥ 100
  8x + 25y ≤ 14

• 8x + 25y ≥ 100
  x + y ≤ 14

Cole is doing a basketball challenge for charity. In order to win money for the charity, he needs to score at least 20 points in less than 10 shots. If x is the number of 2-point shots, and y is the number of three point shots, which inequalities below represent the situation?

• x + y < 10

  2x + 3y ≥ 20

• x + y ≤ 10

  2x + 3y ≥ 20

• x + y ≤ 10

  2x + 3y > 20

• x + y < 10

  2x + 3y > 20

Your family goes to a restaurant for dinner. There are 6 people in your family. Some order the chicken dinner for $14.80, and some order steak for $17. If the total bill was $91, which system best represents the situation? 

• x + y = 6
  14.80x + 17y = 91

• x + y = 91
  14.80x + 17y = 6

• x + y = 6
  14.80y + 17x = 91

• x + y = 91
  14.80x+ 17y = 6

Decide if the following statements are true or false about the graph.

Groups:

(a) True

,

(b) False

• The lines will not intersect, so the system has no solution

• The lines are perpendicular which means they will not ever cross.

• The slope(m) of the lines are equal

• The lines will eventually touch, so the system has one solution

• The slopes are equal, so the system has infinitely many solutions

• The line are parallel, so the system has no solution

Homer sells tickets for admission to your school play and collects a total of $104. Admission prices are $6 for adults and $4 for children. He sold 21 tickets total. To solve, I graphed: x + y = 21 6x + 4y = 104 I got an intersection point at (10,11). What does that mean in context of the problem?

• There are 10 adults and 11 children.

• There are 11 adults and 10 children.

• The adults are $10 and the children are $11.

• There are 104 adults and 21 children.

A large pizza at Palanzio’s Pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping. The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido’s Pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of toppings when both companies cost the same amount?

• y = 6.80 + .65x
  y=7.30+.90x

• x + y = 6.80
  x + y = 7.30

• y = 6.80+.90x
  y = 7.30 + .65x

• y + .90x = 6.80
  y + .65x = 7.30
