Question

the furry friends hotel, a kennel in springdale, needs to bring in at least $1,200 per day to cover its operating costs. the kennel charges $28 per day to house a large dog and $20 per day to house a small dog. select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. use the given numbers and the following variables. x = the number of large dogs y = the number of small dogs 20x + 28y > 1,200 28x + 20y ≥ 1,200 20x + 28y ≥ 1,200 28x + 20y > 1,200

Explanation:

Step1: Define revenue from large dogs

Revenue from large dogs: $28x$

Step2: Define revenue from small dogs

Revenue from small dogs: $20y$

Step3: Set up total revenue condition

Total revenue needs to be at least (greater than or equal to) $1,200$, so:
$28x + 20y \geq 1,200$

Answer:

$28x + 20y \geq 1,200$
