Question

Joanne is having a pizza party. Each medium pizza costs $$8.99$$ and each large pizza costs $$12.99$$. She does not wish for the total cost to exceed $$300$$, and she wants to order at least $$30$$ total pizzas. 

If *M* represents the number of medium pizzas and *L* represents the number of large pizzas, which of the following systems of inequalities accurately represents her situation?

Accepted Answer

$$L + M \ge 30$$ and $$8.99M + 12.99L \le 300$$

Answer

$$L + M = 30$$ and $$8.99M + 12.99L \le 300$$

Answer

$$L + M \ge 30$$ and $$8.99M + 12.99L \ge 300$$

Answer

$$L + M = 30$$ and $$(8.99 + M) + (12.99 + L) \le 300$$
