18*2.50=45
50-45=5
Highlighters are priced at $3, which means she bought only one highlighter.
5-3=2
45+3=48
(The last 2 dollars likely account for tax)

Part A:

Please refer to the attached image to view the graph illustrating the inequalities.

There are two distinct lines shown, one with a steeper negative slope than the other. The shaded region in between indicates the solution set.

The green line corresponds to 2x+y≤8, while the blue line represents x+y≥4

Part B:

To determine if (8, 10) is included, substitute x = 8 and y = 10 into both inequalities. If it fails to satisfy either inequality, then it won't be part of the solution area.

2(8) + 10 ≤ 8

16 + 10 ≤ 8

26 ≤ 8... 26 is NOT less than or equal to 8

Hence, (8, 10) cannot be a solution because the inequality does not hold.

Part C:

I will select a random point from the graph, such as (2, 3). For your answer, any point within the shaded region where both x and y are positive would suffice.

The point (2, 3) indicates that Sarah can purchase 2 cupcakes and 3 pieces of fudge, ensuring that she acquires at least 4 pastries for her siblings while adhering to her 8 dollar budget.

Please let me know if you need any further clarification. Happy studying!

tester [12383]
In January, 20% of the total savings were achieved. To find this percentage, first determine the difference (increase) between the two amounts you’re scrutinizing. The increase is calculated as New Number - Original Number. Next, divide this increase by the original figure and then multiply by 100 for the percentage increase.
