Cookies cost $3 each, and candies cost $2 each. Tim has
$25. Which inequality represents the number of cookies, x,
and the number of candies, y, that Tim can buy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

he can buy 5 cookies and 5 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

3+2=5

5×5=25

Answer:

8x < 12y

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 25 by 3, you get 8.3333... (the threes go on forever), which you can round to 8, because little Timmy isn't going to buy .3 of a cookie. If you divide 25 by 2, you get 12.5, which you round down to 12. I know you normally don't round 5 down, but we are talking about food here.

Therefore, Tim can buy less cookies than candies. He can buy 8 cookies, and 12 candies.

Either way, Timmy's gonna be fat.
