Ariel enters a contest to sel advertisements in ther school's yearbook. To qualify for a prize. She has to sell at least `$1,500` worth of advertisements consisting of no fewer than 15 invididual ads. Each full-page ad costs `$110,` each half-page and costs `$70,` and each quarter-page ad costs `%50.` Which of the following systems of inequalities represents this situation, whre x is the number of full-page ads she sells, y is the number of half-page ads she sells, and z is the number of quarter-page ads she sells?

A

`110x + 70y + 50zge 1,500`
`x+y+z le 15`

B

`110x +70y+50z le 1,500`
`x +y +z le 15`

C

`110x + 70 y + 50z ge 1,500`
`x +y +z ge 15`

D

`110x + 70 y + 50z le 1,500`
`x +y + z ge 15`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to formulate a system of inequalities based on the conditions provided. 1. **Understanding the Variables**: - Let \( x \) be the number of full-page ads sold. - Let \( y \) be the number of half-page ads sold. - Let \( z \) be the number of quarter-page ads sold. 2. **Setting Up the First Inequality**: - Each full-page ad costs $110, so the total revenue from full-page ads is \( 110x \). - Each half-page ad costs $70, so the total revenue from half-page ads is \( 70y \). - Each quarter-page ad costs $50, so the total revenue from quarter-page ads is \( 50z \). - Ariel needs to sell at least $1,500 worth of advertisements. Therefore, we can write the first inequality as: \[ 110x + 70y + 50z \geq 1500 \] 3. **Setting Up the Second Inequality**: - Ariel must sell no fewer than 15 individual ads. This means the total number of ads sold (full-page, half-page, and quarter-page) must be at least 15. Thus, we can write the second inequality as: \[ x + y + z \geq 15 \] 4. **Combining the Inequalities**: - We now have two inequalities that represent the situation: 1. \( 110x + 70y + 50z \geq 1500 \) 2. \( x + y + z \geq 15 \) 5. **Final System of Inequalities**: - The system of inequalities that represents the situation is: \[ \begin{align*} 110x + 70y + 50z & \geq 1500 \\ x + y + z & \geq 15 \end{align*} \]

To solve the problem, we need to formulate a system of inequalities based on the conditions provided. 1. **Understanding the Variables**: - Let \( x \) be the number of full-page ads sold. - Let \( y \) be the number of half-page ads sold. - Let \( z \) be the number of quarter-page ads sold. 2. **Setting Up the First Inequality**: ...
