Answer:
The most that they can spend in food is $239
Step-by-step explanation:
Their budget allows for less than $720 for both food and rent.
We are told that this budget allows
twice as much money for rent as
for food.
Thus,
Let x be amount of spent on food.
Thus, money spent on rent is 2x
Thus,
2x + x < 720
3x < 720
x < 720/3
x < 240
Since x should be less than 240,it means that the most that they can spend in food is $239
