Dan bought x pounds of potatoes for $0.85 per pound and y pounds of grapes for $1.29 per pound. The total cost was less than $5. Which inequality represents his purchase?

A. 1.29x + 0.85y < 5

B. 1.29x + 0.85y > 5

C. 0.85x + 1.29y > 5

D. 0.85x + 1.29y < 5

1) cost of potatoes: it is calculated as the product of the price (0.85) times the number of pounds (x), which is represented by 0.85x 2) cost of grapes: it is calculated as the product of the price (1.29) times the number of pounds (y), which is represented by 1.29y 3) The total cost is the sum of both costs = 0.85x + 1.29y 4) The total cost is less than $5. = > 0.85x + 1.29y < 5, which is the option D.

0.85x+1.29<5 is the awnser from edginuity
