Question

the marching band at oak grove college is selling wrapping paper to raise money for new uniforms. plain wrapping paper sells for $5 per roll. meanwhile, a roll of reversible paper sells for $11. the groups goal is to raise more than $1,100. select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. use the given numbers and the following variables. x = the number of plain rolls of paper sold y = the number of reversible rolls of paper sold 5x + 11y < 1,100 5x + 11y > 1,100 5x - 11y > 1,100 5x·11y < 1,100

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate money from plain paper

Money from plain paper is $5x$ since each plain roll sells for $5$ dollars and $x$ is the number of plain - rolls.

Step2: Calculate money from reversible paper

Money from reversible paper is $11y$ since each reversible roll sells for $11$ dollars and $y$ is the number of reversible - rolls.

Step3: Set up the inequality

The goal is to raise more than $1100$ dollars. So the total money from plain and reversible paper, which is $5x + 11y$, must be greater than $1100$. The inequality is $5x+11y > 1100$.

Answer:

$5x + 11y>1100$
