can spend at most $3 at the market. Apples cost $0.25 each, and pears cost $0.75 each. Let x be the number of apples and let y be the number of pears. A. Write an inequality that represents the numbers of apples and pears you can buy. B. Is (1, 5) a solution of the inequality?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The inequality representing the cost limit is: \(0.25x + 0.75y \leq 3\).

B. To check if (1, 5) is a solution, substitute x=1 and y=5 into the inequality: \(0.25(1) + 0.75(5) \leq 3\). Evaluate this expression to see if it's true or false.
