Travis has a budget of $300 that he can spend on perennial flowers and at least 6 annual flowers. Perennial flowers are 18 dollars per plant and annual flowers are 15 dollars per plant. Let x be the amount spent on perennial flowers, and let y be the amount spent on annual flowers. What system of inequalities describes this situation?

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables are defined in the problem statement.

  18x +15y ≤ 300 . . . . total budget

  y ≥ 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .  minimum number of annuals

  x ≥ 0 . . . . . number of perennials cannot be negative

This system of inequalities describes the situation.

answer:

it will cost 480 dollars to refurbish the larger wood floor

step-by-step explanation:

as it's a ratio of 4 that costs 384 dollars, divide the price by the ratio

384 / 4 = 96 dollars

96 dollars per unit of the ratio

now to get the price to refurbish the larger wood floor, times the price by the units

96 * 5 = 480
