Trisha needs to make at least 50 gift bags for an event. Each gift bag will contain at least 1 thumb drive or 1 key chain. She wants to use at least 5 times as many key chains as thumb drives. She has 25 thumb drives and 200 key chains.

Let x represent the number of key chains. Let y represent the number of thumb drives.

Which inequalities are among the constraints for this situation?

Select each correct answer:

A. y≤25

B. x+y≥50

C. x+5y≤50

D. x≥5y

E. x≤5y

Answer: answers B and E and C are correct

E. x ≥ 5y

A. y ≤ 25

B. x + y ≥50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of key chains.

Let y represent the number of thumb drives.

As we know that:

She wants to use at least 5 times as many key chains as thumb drives

x ≥ 5y

She has 25 thumb drives

y ≤ 25

Trisha needs to make at least 50 gift bags for an event. Each gift bag will contain at least 1 thumb drive or key chain

x + y ≥50

So inequalities are among the constraints for this situation are:

x ≥ 5y

y ≤ 25

x + y ≥50
