50 Pts
jordan and sharla are saving money to go on a study abroad trip. They must provide a down payment of $650 to sign up or the trip and they can pay the remaining balance later. Jordan raises money by mowing lawns in his neighborhood and charges $25 per lawn. Sharla raises money by selling handmade necklaces for $15 each. Sharla raises less money than Jordan does because Sharla only has enough to make 40 necklaces.

A) write two constraints to model the problem. let x represent the number of lawns Jordan mows and y represent the number of necklaces Sharla sells.

B) can Sharla afford the down payment with the money she earns selling all of her necklaces? explain your answer.

Thank you

Respuesta :

A) 25x+15y=650

25x+15(40)=650

Or it could be 25x=650 and 15y=650

B) No because she makes $15 for every necklace which she only has 40 necklaces 15x40=600

A) 25x+15y=650 i think its correct
