You have $50 to spend on cold cuts for a party. Ham costs $5.99/lbs, and turkey costs $4.99/lbs. Write an equation in standard form to relate the number of pounds of each kind of meat you could buy

Answer:

The answer here is 5.99x + 4.99y <= 50

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the number of pounds of ham you buy, and y represents the number of pounds of turkey you buy. Since you only have 50 dollars, the amount of money you spend has to be less than or equal to 50.

5 of each because 4.99 is $5 and 5.99 is $6, 6+4=10x5=50
