Jamie and stella are saving money to sign up for a school trip to washington, d. c. in order to sign up for the trip, they must pay $600 upfront. jamie earns his money by washing cars for $25 each. stella earns her money by making pecan pies for $15 each. jamie earns more money than stella does because stella only has enough supplies to make 40 pies. let x represent the number of cars jamie washes. let y represent the number of pies stella makes.

part 1: write a constraint (an inequality) to represent how much money jamie needs for his trip.

part 2: write a constraint (an inequality) to represent how much money stella needs for her trip.

part 3: write a constraint (an inequality) to represent the relationship between jamie's earnings and stella's earnings.

part 4: can stella afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns? explain your answer and show any work that might support your answer.

1. Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

2. Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

3. If Jamie washes x no. of cars and Stella makes y no. of pies, then,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

4. Yes, Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

if Jamie washes x no. of cars for $25 each and Stella makes y no. of pies

for $ 15 each, then, according to the question,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

Yes,  Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns. Because, she can make at most 40 pies for $15 each and

$ = $ 600 = The amount of money Stella needs for the trip.

it's d
