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. 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.

Answer:

Please see the answer below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1.

25x ≤ 600  

Part 2.

15y ≤ 600  

Part 3.

25x ≤ 15y  

Part 4.

Stella sells pecan pies for $15 each and has enough supplies  to make 40 pies;

which means, Stella earns each day;

15 x 40

= $600

Hence Stella has enough money to sign up for the trip.
