A farmeer sells watermelons, cantaloups,...

A farmeer sells watermelons, cantaloups, and tomatoes from a small cart at a country fair. He needs to sell at least `$200` of produce each day. His watermelons are priced at `$0.50` per pound, his cantaloupes at `$1` per pound, and his tomatos at `$2.50` per pound. His cart can hold no more than 250 pounds. Which of the following inequalities represents this scenario, if w is the number of pounds of watermelons, c is the number of pounds of cantaloupse, and t is the number of pounds of tomatoes ?

A

`0.5w+1c + 2.5tge 200`
`w +c +t le 250`

B

`0.5w +1c +2.5t le 200`
` w +c + t le 250`

C

`0.5w +1c +2.5t ge 200`
`w +c + ge 250`

D

`0.5w +1c+2.5t le200`
`w +c +t ge 250`

The correct Answer is:
To represent the scenario of the farmer selling watermelons, cantaloupes, and tomatoes, we need to set up inequalities based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables**: Let: - \( w \) = pounds of watermelons - \( c \) = pounds of cantaloupes - \( t \) = pounds of tomatoes 2. **Set Up the Weight Constraint**: The total weight of the produce cannot exceed 250 pounds. This can be expressed as: \[ w + c + t \leq 250 \] 3. **Set Up the Revenue Requirement**: The farmer needs to sell at least $200 worth of produce. The revenue from each type of produce can be calculated as follows: - Revenue from watermelons: \( 0.50w \) - Revenue from cantaloupes: \( 1c \) - Revenue from tomatoes: \( 2.50t \) Therefore, the total revenue can be expressed as: \[ 0.50w + 1c + 2.50t \geq 200 \] 4. **Combine the Inequalities**: The two inequalities that represent the scenario are: \[ w + c + t \leq 250 \] \[ 0.50w + 1c + 2.50t \geq 200 \] ### Final Inequalities: Thus, the inequalities that represent the scenario are: 1. \( w + c + t \leq 250 \) 2. \( 0.50w + c + 2.50t \geq 200 \)

To represent the scenario of the farmer selling watermelons, cantaloupes, and tomatoes, we need to set up inequalities based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Variables**: Let: - \( w \) = pounds of watermelons - \( c \) = pounds of cantaloupes ...
