The networking organization you joined is throwing a party. You are in charge of buying the chips, which cost $2.50 per bag and salsa, which costs $4 per jar. The chips & salsa budget you are given totals $60. The inequality 2.5x + 4y less than or equal to 60 represents the possible combinations of chips (x) and salsa (y) you can buy.

graph of the inequality 2.5 x plus 4 y is less than or equal to 60

Which of the following does not represent a solution to the inequality?

10 bags of chips and 2 jars of salsa

20 bags of chips and 2 jars of salsa

14 bags of chips and 5 jars of salsa

18 bags of chips and 6 jars of salsa

18 bags of chips and 6 jars of salsa does not represent a solution....because if u sub in 18 for x and 6 for y, it is greater then 60, not less then or equal to 60

Answer:

18 bags of chips and 6 jars of salsa.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality that represents this situation is

$2.5x+4y \leq 60$

Because, $2.50 cost the bag of cheaps and salsa, and the budget is $60, which is a restriction, you cannot spend more than $60.

Now, the solutions of these inequality must satisfy the restriction. Let's evaluate each choice.

10 bags of chips and 2 jars of salsa.

Which satisfies the restriction, the cost is under the budget.

20 bags of chips en 2 jars of salsa.

@@MATH_TOKEN_2@@

It's under the budget.

14 bags of chips and 5 jars of salsa.

@@MATH_TOKEN_3@@

It's under the budget.

18 bags of chips and 6 jars of salsa.

@@MATH_TOKEN_4@@

It's not under the budget.

Therefore, the last choice doesn't represent a solution of the inequality, because it costs more than $60.
